Burkina Faso Travel Adapters

Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in West Africa bordered by Mali, Niger, Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire. The capital city is Ouagadougou. The country is known for its Sahelian landscapes, traditional cultures, and vibrant arts scene, including the internationally recognized FESPACO film festival held in the capital. Burkina Faso’s history includes powerful pre-colonial kingdoms and later French colonial rule before independence in 1960.

Burkina Faso uses mains electricity supplied at about 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type F sockets. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.
