TRAVEL TO BURKINA FASO

Burkina Faso is a small country in western Africa. You may be planning a trip there. You may want to experience the warm climate, the culture, or something else. In any case, you should know that Burkina Faso uses electrical plugs that are shaped differently from the ones you are used to in the United States. You might be planning to bring some of your electronics to Burkina Faso , but American-style plugs are only used in some areas in Burkina Faso . There are at least six different common types of plugs that are used around the world, and most countries outside North and South America use the common three-cylindrical-pronged design. Burkina Faso uses a two-prong design. But you do not need to buy new electronics in Burkina Faso in order to use any electronics there. You simply need plug adapters. Purchase both types that you will need in Burkina Faso , and be sure to buy the correct kind, keeping in mind there are six total common plug types, and Burkina Faso only uses two.
Most places outside of North America also use a higher voltage current. 110v is the voltage used by North America and most of Central and South America. However, in most other continents, 220v is used. In countries where 220v is used, it is important to bring a voltage converter that has a 25% higher wattage rating than the appliance you are using it for. In Burkina Faso , the voltage used is 220v, the most commonly used voltage. So if you are going to Burkina Faso , be sure to also get a voltage converter . This does not apply if you are bringing dual-voltage appliances. However, single-volt appliances will need a voltage converter . The wattage should be indicated on the indication panel of the devices. If not, multiply the voltage by the amp. Then you can buy the correct voltage converter s foor your selected appliances.
