Sockets in Eswatini
The plug types you’ll find in Eswatini are Type M plugs and sockets.
Type M
Type M sockets have three large round pins arranged in a triangular shape. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type M sockets.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Eswatini
We’ve reviewed and tested a wide range of adaptors ourselves. Safety, charging speed and durability were all compared. This is the one we trust and recommend.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Eswatini is commonly combined with travel to South Africa and Mozambique. It’s worth checking the plug info — not every country in the region uses the same system.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A power converter is only required when voltages differ. In Eswatini it’s about the same as at home in Britain, so you can skip it.
Have a look at your device’s voltage label before plugging in abroad. If it says ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, there’s no need for a converter — laptops, tablets and other modern gadgets usually have this built in.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Sometimes the simplest bits of kit are the most useful. A luggage scale saves your wallet, a power bank saves your battery, and packing cubes save your sanity when you’re digging through your bag. We’ve tested them, and they’ve quickly become our travel staples.
