This is the one I used last year in South Africa. I believe different parts of Africa have different plugs. This one converts the 220 volts to 120 volts.
check all the devices you will carry with you. if the say 100-240 vac or there abouts all you'll need is the plug adapter itself. radio shack and a country list.
Thanks guys. I meant a universal plug, one that adapts for x amount of different countries rather than one for each country. SA, Kenya, Tanzania, Victoria Falls - I counted 3 so far.

All modern electronics that have been verified, so just the plug adapter.
Check out online travel stores. Magellan's (NFI), for example, has country-specific information on what plug types are used in each country and offers universal, or near-universal, adapters. Thay also sell transformers, if needed, and surge protectors. A reliable outfit.

I cant advise to much on actual adapters or what you will come across on your travels but I will say stick whatever you need on the end of a multi strip (usually 4 sockets) of your own normal plugs (which would be the UK 3 pin for me)
its so much easier than getting loads of single adapters and trying to find enough sockets for your stuff. I never seem to be able to find enough un used sockets in hotel rooms
Not sure if this helps but during my trips to Kenya and Tanzania I only needed the one UK (British) plug adapter. I plugged a bunch of North American blocks into it giving me 9 outlets. Since all of the chargers are low draw I never had a problem at any of the tented camps charging various batteries.
