Why Lesotho is a little different

Lesotho uses type M, a larger plug with three round pins. You hardly ever see that type in Europe, so an ordinary Dutch plug won't fit there. That's exactly why Lesotho is the kind of destination where you really want to arrange the right adapter in advance, instead of hoping it works out on the spot.

Which plug do you need in Lesotho?

In Lesotho, sockets of type M are used. For Dutch travellers this means you need an adapter from EU plug to type M. A universal travel adapter is usually the most convenient, especially if you travel often or also visit other countries.

Will your Dutch devices just work in Lesotho?

In many cases yes. Lesotho uses 220–230 volts and 50 Hz, which is close to the Netherlands. As a result, modern devices such as phone chargers, laptops, camera chargers and power banks are usually fine to use, as long as you bring the right travel adapter.

To be sure, always check the label of your charger. If it says 100-240V and 50/60Hz, it's normally suitable for international use.

When is a universal travel adapter handier than a single adapter?

A single adapter for type M is enough if you're only travelling to Lesotho. But a universal travel adapter is often smarter if you're touring around southern Africa, travel regularly or prefer to have one fixed solution in your luggage. That saves separate adapters and makes your gear a little more practical to use.

Handy to know before you leave

Lesotho isn't the kind of destination where you can easily buy a good travel adapter on every corner. That's why this is typically a product you'd better order in advance. Especially if you depend on your phone, camera, e-reader or laptop on the go, you don't want to arrive without a matching plug.
