Electricity On Uganda Safari — Important Travel Information

Electricity specifications in Uganda: 240 volts British Standard, typically using 3 pin square plugs.

Rwanda: 240 volts, equipped with the 2 pin European style plugs.

Some lodges and camps provide power only during specific hours, and in certain locations, charging facilities are centralized. Be sure to bring your own charger along for the journey.
In lodges and camps that harness solar power systems, the availability of power for charging can fluctuate based on the sunshine received and the lodge’s activity level with charging devices. While they will make every effort to assist, a constant supply of charging may not always be assured.

At hotels in towns and lodges equipped with substantial generator power, you can use specialized breathing machines, hair dryers, curling tongs, shavers, and other electrical equipment. However, this is typically not feasible at solar-powered lodges. Be sure to review your detailed itinerary to know where these items can be used, and inform your agent ahead of time if any special arrangements are necessary, such as for breathing machines.

The safari vehicles you embark on might feature inverter systems for charging your devices, though this amenity is not assured.
