Hi there!

I am planning to get from Arusha to Uganda with bus next week. I heard about Kampal Coach. Does anyone know which route it is driving? Through Kenya of south-west around Lake Victoria (which means only through Tanzania)? And how about the visa? Is it payed in the bus and which currency should it be payed in?

THANKS!

Annasofie :)

Through Kenya. You will get a Kenyan visa at the Tz-Kenyan border and a Ug visa at the Kenyan-Ug border. Pay for the visas in USD.

There's an East African agreement that allows you to return to Kenya from Tz or Ug on a single-entry visa. Likewise for returning to Tz and Ug. I don't think Rwanda or Burundi are part of this accord. If you venture outside Kenya, Tz or Ug, that would invalidate the single-entry visa. I've never actually witnessed this though as I have Kenyan resident status.
