Most nationalities need a visa for Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda, and the good news is you usually don't need three separate ones. The East Africa Tourist Visa covers all three countries on a single entry for 90 days, provided Uganda or Rwanda is your first port of entry.
How it works
- Apply online before travel — approval typically takes a few business days
- Valid for multiple crossings between Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda within the 90 days
- Does not cover Tanzania, which still requires its own separate visa
If your trip only touches one country, a single-country e-visa is usually cheaper than the joint visa. The joint visa pays off the moment your itinerary crosses a border — for example flying into Kigali for gorillas, then driving to Bwindi in Uganda.
