Sockets in Somalia
Somalia uses Type C 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.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Somalia
We carried out detailed research and tested a variety of adaptors ourselves. Only one ticked every box — safety, speed and durability. That’s the one we recommend here.
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.
Somalia is often combined with nearby countries like Kenya and Ethiopia. Check those pages too — plugs and voltage can vary quite a bit.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll only ever need a voltage converter if your device’s voltage doesn’t match the country’s. In Somalia you won’t need one — the mains voltage is roughly the same as in the UK.
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
No one likes last-minute stress at the airport or hunting for chargers abroad. That’s why we always pack a luggage scale to dodge fees, a power bank to stay connected, and packing cubes to keep everything neat. They take up little space but make a world of difference.
