Visa Information for East Africa
Planning your safari requires understanding the visa requirements for each country you'll be visiting. East Africa has made travel easier with initiatives like the East Africa Tourist Visa, but it's important to know the specific requirements for each destination.
Most nationalities require visas for Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, but the process has been streamlined in recent years. Many countries now offer e-visas that can be obtained online before travel, making the process more convenient.
It's essential to check the latest visa requirements with the respective embassies or official government websites as regulations can change. We recommend applying for visas at least one month before your planned departure to allow for processing time.
