Single-entry visas are valid for up to 90 days, while multiple-entry visas may be available for certain nationalities. Requirements include a valid passport, a completed application form, passport-sized photos, and a visa fee. Some nationalities, like EAC citizens, are exempt.

Bring Extra Batteries and Memory Cards: Safaris offer excellent photography opportunities, so ensure you have enough space and power.
