From Tonga to Cape Verde
When travelling from Tonga to Cape Verde: None of your Tonga plug types fit in Cape Verde. You will need a travel adapter. 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.
