The East Africa Tourist Visa (EATV) is one of the region's best ideas and still one of its best-kept secrets: a single 90-day, multiple-entry visa covering Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda for USD 100.
How it works
You apply through the country you'll enter first - that matters - and can then move freely between the three countries for 90 days without buying separate visas. For a classic circuit like Nairobi → Masai Mara → Kampala → Bwindi → Kigali, it replaces up to USD 150 of individual visas and a lot of border paperwork.
When it's worth it
Visiting two or more of the three countries? Almost always yes. Visiting just one? Stick with that country's own visa - it's cheaper. And remember the EATV is single-region, not single-entry: you can hop between the three repeatedly, but leaving the region (say, to Tanzania) ends the visa's validity.
We arrange EATV applications as part of any multi-country itinerary - ask your consultant.
