Converters, adapters and special modems...are they needed for travel to Africa
16 years ago, September 12th 2007 No: 1 Msg: #19333  
My family is traveling to Tanzania next week and we will need to bring our laptops particularly for our 14 year old who will need to maintain contact with her school. The facility we are staying at has wifi access. Do I need a special modem to connect to the internet. Also, coming from America, I know we will need an adapter but will we also need a converter for the electricity. Our guide book says electricity is 220 to 250V AC at 50 hrz. Has anyone else used a laptop in Tanzania and if so what were the connectivity issues and power needs. Thanks. Reply to this
