Your answer: Singapore → Kenya
Plug adapter
Not needed
Both Singapore and Kenya use Type G. Your plug fits the socket as-is.
Voltage converter
Not needed
Both countries are on the same high-voltage standard (230V in Singapore, 240V in Kenya). Your devices work as-is.

What this means for your trip
Travelling from Singapore to Kenya? Easy trip, electrically speaking — you don't need a plug adapter or a voltage converter. Both countries use the same outlet shape and the same voltage standard, so every charger, phone, and laptop you'd normally pack works the moment you land.
Both countries run on Type G outlets. You don't need a shape adapter at all — just plug in the way you do at home.
Voltage is the same on both ends (230V vs 240V, 50Hz vs 50Hz), so every charger that works at home works in Kenya without modification. No voltage converter, no hunting for "100-240V" on the brick.
Frequently asked
Do I need a travel adapter for Kenya from Singapore?
No. Both Singapore and Kenya use Type G outlets, so your plug fits the socket as-is.
What type of plug does Kenya use?
Kenya uses Type G outlets at 240V, 50Hz. Three rectangular pins. UK, Ireland, Malta, Singapore, Hong Kong, many former UK colonies.
What's the voltage in Kenya?
Kenya runs on 240V at 50Hz. That's on the high-voltage standard, higher than Singapore's 230V supply. Most modern phones, laptops, tablets, and camera chargers are dual-voltage (check for "100-240V" on the brick) and work on either. Single-voltage devices like hair dryers, curling irons, and travel kettles will not — bring a dual-voltage travel version or a voltage converter.
Are Singapore chargers dual-voltage?
Most — but not all. Check the charger brick for a line that reads something like "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60Hz." If you see that, the charger works on either voltage standard and you only need a plug adapter. If it lists just "120V" (or just "230V"), it's single-voltage and can't be plugged straight into the other side without a voltage converter.
