Default International Phone Charger

Most chargers/wall warts will work on 100V-250V, so all you probably need is a plug adapter. This does not apply to most high-power devices like hair dryers, curlers, irons, etc., but most tourist hotels provide hair dryers.

I think Kenya uses the same plug as the UK. If you cannot find t at your local luggage/travel store, you can surely find them for sale at the airport. Your hotel will probably have them to loan out at the front desk or the concierge. (Some hotels have wall sockets that accept foreign plugs without changing the voltage.)

Bon voyage!


Thank you.

Yes, Kenya uses the G plug. And, yes, all our chargers are 'smart' that way.. What we were hoping for was a suggestion towards a rechargeable external battery pack, for those times we are away from the big hotels and are staying in the luxury tents. My wife is a heavy user of tablet-based apps, so we will not be able to count on hers holding a charge for several days.
