When you are travelling with more than your Jabra Solemate and visiting multiple countries then the best travel adapter for Mozambique to buy is a multiple USB charger which includes compatible plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. There are three standards of power outlets that Mozambicans use (F, C and M) and using a travel adapter like this ensures that you are covered for type C.

As these chargers are supplied with interchangeable plugs and can handle 100 to 240 volts it makes them ideal for over 100 countries around the world simply by changing the included plugs. If your Jabra Solemate is compatible with Fast Charge (not all USB devices can) then you'll benefit from much quicker charging times by using one of these types of travel adapters plus additional compatibility with certain power demanding devices like tablets.

Having a 4 port adapter will also allow you to power more than one device at the same time without needing to buy seperate travel adapters for your trip.
