Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- Rwanda: No visa needed, 30 days. The East Africa Tourist Visa covers Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda together.
- Uganda: e-Visa online before you go, 3 months. The East Africa visa is an option.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Kigali · Volcanoes · Lake Bunyonyi · Bwindi · Queen Elizabeth · Entebbe.

Rwanda and Uganda in 10 days: gorillas twice, chimpanzees and the Rift Valley
Kigali → Volcanoes → Lake Bunyonyi → Bwindi → Queen Elizabeth → Entebbe
The mountain gorilla lives in one forest split across three borders, and this is the two halves of it you can reach — a steep hour in Rwandan bamboo and a hard one in Ugandan rainforest, with chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions and the Rift Valley in between.
