Power/electricity

• Electricity runs on 220/240 volts, AC 50 hertz.
• Outlets are of the round 3-pin variety, maximum 15 amps. Adapters can be bought at the airport, or in Windhoek.
• Some campsites have 220/240V electrical supplies for recharging video and digital camera batteries, but others do not. Either bring a good supply of batteries to keep you going or obtain a 12 volt charger which can be used from vehicles.
