The East African visa is easy, apply for a multiple entry online via Rwanda Consulate

https://www.migration.gov.rw/index.php?id=233

After applying, you will have to wait for 2 weeks, mind you, you won't pay any money till you get to Rwanda and the fee for the visa is $100.

Please make sure ur visa is approved online before going, if not you might be returned.

Once your visa is approved then flight

Nb: state that you are visiting all east Africa country, that way your visa will be urgently touched. In case response is slow, you can call them

For my flight bookings I used wakanow and travelstart , you have to know how to do your search, make sure you book a month before your journey.

Preferred carrier should be Kenya Airways

My bookings

lagos - Kigali (Rwanda ) - Kampala (Uganda) - Nairobi (kenya )
Made my bookings thru wakanow on this

In Kenya you can make your bus bookings to Tanzania (Arusha) which is about 4,000naira (1,300 Kenya shillings) and 50 dollars at the Tanzania border for visa on arrival

Nairobi - Johannesburg (South Africa ) - Maputo (Mozambique) - lagos (nigeria )

Book this via travel start

Nb:
You don't need a visa to go to Mozambique
If you take Kenya airways you will always transit via Nairobi every time

Rwanda

Rwanda is a very nice country and the people are lovely and friendly, not sure if this is as a result of the genocide but everything is calm, you walk with dollars at night and no thief will come after you, things are quite expensive in Rwanda and mind you, you will need to learn the basic Swahili

Like Manbo or Jambo to answer this when someone say it to you, you will say por

Night life in Rwanda not much of a thing

Will write more about Rwanda, let's proceed to Uganda

The picture I posted up there is taken at the discovery Rwanda hostel, it's about 19 dollars per night and you will sure meet a lot of people, many white people see Rwanda as their second home
Re: My East Africa - South Africa Tour by Nobody: 7:51am On Jul 30, 2015
Uganda

When you get to the airport in ebb be sure to meet with people who see you as a suspect, Uganda is very cheap to live in , with 1 dollars you will sure have about 3,320 Ugandan shillings grin

Ugandan babes likes alcohol and sex , sex is cheap, with 20,000 shillings which is below 10 dollars you will see girls running after you to spend a night . Make sure you stay around kapalagala which is more like surulere, always bubbling, no night sleep in that area. If you need me to suggest hotel, try hotel acacia .

Mind you the immigration are quite hostile to Nigerians because they know most Nigerians go there and don't return .

For clubbing you can try venom very close to the hotel I suggest, or 256 (kololo) nice club with Nigerian gbedu. Nothing like runs girl, all girl Na runs girls .
Old mama sef come groove and u will be surprise and sometimes girls around 13-17 drink alcohol and almost naked. Crazy down there mehn but for me I vote Uganda as the bum in east Africa social life


Next is KenyA

Lastly I book from two different website based on the fate price.


I use wakanow and travel start

Wakanow ( lagos- Nairobi- Rwanda- Nairobi - Uganda - Nairobi) approximately 168,000 naira Nairobi to Tanzania (by bus 6,000 naira )

Travel start ( Nairobi - Johannesburg (took a bus to Mozambique through a tour company) - back to Johannesburg- Capetown - Johannesburg- Nairobi - lagos

Am not doubting you sir but to avoid others making this mistake one cant get into Mozambique without Visa.. You where able to enter maybe becos you are on tour from South Africa and also with other tourist but as an immigrant you cannot enter without Visa and Mozambique is Not Visa free not even for 30days
