I posted this once before, and I was told to buy the 3 flat-prong adapters, but a few others told me to also get the 3 round-prong ones, which I cannot find anywhere.
I will be living in a bush camp. What do you guy's think of this?????

Radio Shack has a universal power adapter kit with a transformer and about 6 different plug adapters that have worked in Europe, Asia, South America and New Zealand for me.

I have used the same Radio Shack set in Zimbabwe and had no problems anywhere with it. In fact I left it there and it's probably still in use.

Rhodesia changed from round, 3 pin, 15 Amp plugs to square, 13 pin, fused 13 Amp Plugs in 1970...

So most of the plug points in my house are round, but those on the veranda and other recent additions are square! Plan on square- everybody who still has round sockets has adaptors!

don't forget to take 12v chargers along for cameras etc. There portions of zim where there isn't electricity. not only because some camps are wired, but because the wire gets stolen. Hence there often not phone service save cell phones either.
