From Seychelles to Somalia

All plugs match

When travelling from Seychelles to Somalia: Good news: all your Seychelles plug types fit in Somalia. Voltage is different (240V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.
