Sockets in Kumasi
The plug types you’ll find in Kumasi are 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.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Kumasi
After testing numerous adaptors during real trips, one stood out. It performed best on safety, value and usability. This is the adaptor we suggest you take.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Kumasi is often part of a trip that also includes Ivory Coast and Togo. Even within the same region, plug types may vary, so it’s a good idea to check.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Voltage converters are only necessary if there’s a mismatch. In Kumasi the mains supply is more or less the same as in the UK, so you’re fine.
Always check the voltage label before plugging in abroad; if it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your device will usually work without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling can be stressful enough without the little annoyances. A luggage scale saves you from those eye-watering charges at the airport, a power bank means your phone won’t die mid-journey, and packing cubes keep everything in order. We’ve taken them on trips ourselves, and they really do make a difference.
