Recommended Travel Adaptor for Gabon
Our team researched and tried many adaptors while travelling. We looked closely at quality, safety and price. This adaptor proved the most reliable.
Forgotten your adaptor and already abroad? Don’t worry — airports and local shops usually stock them. That said, packing your own saves you from high prices and poor quality.
Gabon is often combined with trips to Cameroon and Republic of the Congo. Worth checking the plug info — systems can vary across borders.
Sockets in Gabon
The plug types you’ll find in Gabon are Type C plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Converters are only useful where voltages vary. In Gabon, the mains is practically the same as back in Britain, so you won’t need one.
Double-check your device’s voltage label when travelling. ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means you won’t need a converter, which is the case for most up-to-date electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling is a lot less stressful when you’ve got the right extras with you. A digital luggage scale helps you avoid those eye-watering excess baggage charges, a power bank keeps your phone and gadgets alive, and packing cubes stop your suitcase becoming a jumble. We’ve put them to the test, and they really are worth packing.
