The only other country that has the same adapter as SA is Namibia, so you wont be able to get one before hand.
It is 3 point, with thick rounded points (like round pencils).
Wait until your in Joburg or Ctown international airports, you'll be able to buy adapters there.
Good luck, and enjoy your trip!

Buy it in South Africa. It's cheap and than you make sure you have a good one. Universal adapters do not always fit.

If you will be in a hotel (four or upwards stars) they will provide you with an adapter. But your best bet is to get yourself a multi-adapter. Ask your travel agent to assists (hope they won't charge you for that - in South Africa they don't for that type of assistance).

you can get a universal adaptor. i bought mine in radio shack but can get it in best buy. it has all the adaptors that are used in most of the countries in the world and it is all together. that way, if, on your way to africa, you pass any other countries in europe on your way, you have it ready. and on your way back, just in case you have any stop overs, you are able to use it.
i used mine to my trips to europe and also to my trip to the philippines. it is the most practical thing you can have with you. you can use it for a laptop or for your cell phone if your cell is able to text across the ocean.

220V or 240V adapters.Avoid the 110V,it will be useless in Africa.
