Common questions

Do I need a plug adapter from Kenya to Germany?

Yes. Germany uses Type C/F sockets, which Kenya plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.

Will my devices work on Germany’s voltage?

Germany runs at 230V, 50Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
