Electricity/ Plug / power question for kenya...
I havn't yet managed to get a single straight answer from any travel agent
( including my own safari organiser!) about what sort of electrical plug system Kenya has... Somone said that it's the same as the UK, but wern't sure. Would I need an adaptor to plug /charge my equipment for kenya or would I be able to plug it into the wall directly *without* the need of a travel adaptor? All help gratefully appreciated!!! -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Regards Gerry I lived in Kenya and we used the same three pin plug as Britain in our house, in hotels, but staying with a friend in Nairobi in an older house I needed an adapter for, say, a hairdryer, they had a two pin system. I`d say take an adapter with you but generally you will find a system the same as Britain. Just checked Rough Guide and I`m correct... 220-240 volts, three square pins! Pat. -- Pat Anderson |

Hi!
My parents live in Kenia. You will be fine with the british-plug- system. Even in houses where there are two pin systems, there often are adaptors. If not, you can buy one at every street corner for far less money, than such an adaptor would cost you back home. |

Pat, I'm guessing that the poster is probably German speaking.

Hi Marc, I guessed that, just testing! Hope all OK with you down there. No doubt you know Hans Georg Michna from this group, he`s gone on his annual safari to Kenya for a month, strangely enough he was in Kenya during our years there, from 1979--- 87, but we never met there.
