These details combine official input from electricity authorities, IEC standards, and practical experience from people who’ve travelled internationally.
Sockets in Ivory Coast
The plug types you’ll find in Ivory Coast are Type C and E 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 E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Ivory Coast
Many adaptors didn’t pass our tests, but this one did. We looked at safety, durability and value for money. That’s why we confidently recommend it.
No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.
Ivory Coast is commonly visited together with Ghana and Burkina Faso. Worth checking the plug info — not all neighbours use the same system.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Converters are only useful where voltages vary. In Ivory Coast, the mains is practically the same as back in Britain, so you won’t need one.
Make sure to look at the voltage label before travelling. Devices marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will operate abroad without any converter.
