Travel plug Sierra Leone 🇸🇱

Do you need a travel adapter for Sierra Leone?

Yes, always.

Sierra Leone uses two plug types side by side:

• Type D: three round pins in a triangular shape, the older British colonial type
• Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular shape, the modern British type

Due to the British colonial history, you come across both types mixed together. In modern hotels in Freetown and official buildings you more often find type G. In older accommodations, regional stays and the interior, type D is dominant. Neither type fits a Dutch plug without an adapter.

A travel adapter for Sierra Leone is essential when you:

• bring Dutch chargers or electrical appliances
• stay in hotels, guesthouses or local accommodations
• take a round trip through different cities and regions
• want to avoid having no power on arrival

Which socket type does Sierra Leone have?

Sierra Leone uses two plug types:

• Type D: three large round pins in a triangular shape. The same type as in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sudan
• Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular shape. The same type as in the United Kingdom, Singapore and Mauritius

Type G has become increasingly dominant in modern accommodations, but type D remains common in older buildings. You cannot rely on that mix, so a universal travel adapter that supports both types is the safest choice.

Which travel adapter for Sierra Leone is best?

Because of the mix of plug types, a universal travel adapter with type D support is the smartest choice.

For a one-off trip to Sierra Leone you could theoretically travel with several separate adapters, but that is cumbersome and you never know exactly which one you need. A universal travel adapter covers both types in one device.

The Remodius Universal Travel Adapter includes a special Type D plug slider and works in Sierra Leone and in 220+ other countries, with multiple USB ports so you can charge your phone, laptop and camera at the same time.

When choosing a travel adapter for Sierra Leone, look for:

• support for both type D and type G
• sturdy housing for varying socket quality
• built-in USB and USB-C ports
• compact size for hand luggage
• enough power for laptops and larger appliances

Power and voltage in Sierra Leone

The power supply in Sierra Leone is the same as in the Netherlands.

• Voltage: 230 volts
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Compatible with Dutch appliances: yes

So you do not need a voltage converter. A travel adapter for Sierra Leone is sufficient. Your phone, laptop, camera and other devices work without any problems.

Do bear in mind, however, that the power supply in Sierra Leone is not always stable. Power outages occur regularly, especially outside Freetown. A good power bank is therefore always a sensible addition.

When is a travel adapter for Sierra Leone indispensable?

An adapter is indispensable in Sierra Leone when using:

• phone and laptop chargers
• camera and GoPro chargers
• electric toothbrushes
• power banks and portable batteries
• headlamps and flashlights with rechargeable battery
• portable monitors for remote work

Especially if you take a round trip through Sierra Leone, with overnight stays in Freetown as well as remote accommodations on the beaches or in the interior, a reliable universal travel adapter is indispensable.
