What to pack
Plugbert recommends
Type G (UK 3-pin) adapter
You need a plug adapter. Plugs from Burkina Faso (Type C and E) don't fit the Type G sockets in the United Kingdom. A Type G (UK 3-pin) adapter fits the listed socket families there. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.
Tip: a "universal" travel adapter may be useful for several destinations. Check its wall-side plugs, grounding and power limits against your trip.
