1. Bestek International Travel Voltage Converter

This is the most recommended item on our list. Most African countries use 220v or 240v volt electricity, as compared to 110v in the United States. To avoid damaging your electronics or hair curling irons, you’ll need a step-down converter to convert the higher input voltage to a lower output voltage. This Bestek Travel Voltage Converter will protect your devices and it comes with 5 adapters which can be used with plugs in different countries.

2. 8-Set Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are a great way to compactly organize your clothes and other travel items. This 8-piece set is one of the highest rated on Amazon.

3. Travel Pillow and Blanket Set

Comfort can be hard to come by on long haul flights to Africa, especially if you’re seated in economy. This set helps to make those long trips a little easier. It includes a warm blanket, neck pillow, eye mask, foot sling and ear plugs.

4. Travel Ready First Aid Kit

As the saying goes, better safe than sorry. A first aid kid is helpful for minor scrapes or headaches.

5. Mini Travel Steam Iron

If you plan to spend time in a village or a small town where irons may not be readily available, this mini travel iron is nice to have. It’s lightweight and has dual voltage settings for worldwide use.

6. 16-pc Travel Bottle Set

If you’re Team Carry-On and you prefer to bottle your own travel size toiletries, this set is for you. It includes 16 pieces, including two 3-ounce and two 2-ounce bottles for shampoo and other items.

7. INIU High Speed Power Bank

When traveling in Africa, it’s important to have a backup power source to charge your mobile phones and other electronic devices. This portable power bank is slim, fast charging and compatible with iPhone and Android phones.

8. Mini Handheld Fan

African countries are hot for most of the year, so a hand fan will come in handy on walking tours or locations without air conditioning. This one is battery-operated and it’s available in several colors.

9. Sony Noise Canceling Headphones

These Sony Headphones offer quality sound and noise canceling properties which are useful to reduce unwanted noise in flight. They’re comfortable and have a long battery life.
