Some of your plugs fit Argentina's sockets directly. Grounded or chunkier ones need help.

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type C (Europlug) adapter

Some plugs from South Africa fit the Type C and I sockets in Argentina and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits 1 of the 2 listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type I (Australian) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet instead; it does not fit every listed outlet. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.

For equipment requiring earth, choose a Type I (Australian) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet. Check its supported inputs and rated load. A two-pin output cannot provide an earth connection.

Tip: a "universal" travel adapter may be useful for several destinations. Check its wall-side plugs, grounding and power limits against your trip.

Check the voltage rating
Argentina uses 220 V and South Africa uses 230 V, but similar nominal voltages do not guarantee compatibility. Check that your device's input rating covers the destination supply.

Plugbert's note on Argentina
Argentina uses Type I, but with live and neutral swapped compared to Australia. Your Aussie plug fits; it just doesn't care.
