Purchased this adaptor for a recent holiday to South Africa. Could not have managed without it for 'phone and camera chargers, hot brush, hairdryer, husband's shaver etc. It wasn't only for three pin UK plugs but a two pin shaver plug as well. Was on a tour and only one hotel out of 5 supplied an adaptor so would have been absolutely lost without it. A great product at a great price. Don't leave it until you arrive at your departure airport to purchase one. Not only do they cost a lot more than on this site but may not be available. Can really recommend it.
