Recommended Travel Adaptor for Ghana
We’ve researched extensively and tested many adaptors abroad. Safety, speed, durability and cost were all considered. This one is by far the best choice.
Abroad with no adaptor? You’ll find some for sale at airports and in town. Just bear in mind they’re often overpriced and not the best quality.
Ghana is commonly visited together with Togo and Ivory Coast. It’s smart to double-check plug types and voltage — there can be differences across borders.
Sockets in Ghana
In Ghana, you’ll find Type D and G plugs and sockets.
Type D
Type D sockets have three large round pins in a triangular shape. Unlike Type G, they lack a fuse and the pins are round rather than rectangular.
Type G
Type G sockets have three rectangular pins arranged in a triangular pattern, with a built-in fuse for safety. They are the standard used in the United Kingdom.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You don’t need to worry about a converter in Ghana; the voltage is virtually identical to what we use in the UK.
Before using your gadget overseas, glance at the voltage mark. Anything showing ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will be fine without a voltage converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s not just your adaptor that matters when you’re abroad. A digital luggage scale keeps check-in drama at bay, a power bank gives you peace of mind on long journeys, and packing cubes make your suitcase far easier to manage. Once you’ve tried them, you’ll wonder how you coped before.
