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!!!

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!

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.

Adapters are not expensive in Britain! Tell me, why do you call
Kenya "Kenia?

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.

Hi there the UK 'square pin' plug is what you need. Most hotels have
two pin socklets too.
