Sockets in Cameroon
In Cameroon, you’ll find Type C and F 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.
Type F
Type F sockets have two round pins with two earth clips on the side. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type F sockets.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Cameroon
We tried many adaptors while travelling and checked them against strict criteria. Safety, performance and price were key. The adaptor below came out on top.
Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Cameroon is commonly visited together with Nigeria and Gabon. Plug types can differ, so it’s worth checking before you go.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A power converter is only required when voltages differ. In Cameroon it’s about the same as at home in Britain, so you can skip it.
Make sure to look at the voltage label before travelling. Devices marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will operate abroad without any converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Packing smart means more than just choosing the right clothes. A luggage scale saves you from surprise charges, a power bank makes sure your devices last the day, and packing cubes keep everything tidy. They’re simple tools that take away a lot of the hassle.
