Kenya allows an extension once for 3 months. So a total of 6 months. After that you have to leave the EAC area. That means fly out to Ethiopia for example, or you pay an ahem "fee" (200 Euros) to the Immigration officer of your choice. He stamps you in and out and then you're good to go another 6 months.
Uganda an expat told me he was already staying on Visa extensions for 2! Years. After he was told politely to leave to Kenya or TZ and come back.
Rwanda also 3 months plus extension possible at the Immigration in Kigali.

Above info is compiled to the best of my knowledge. Which is pretty accurate. LOL.

All is there. Also public transport good for an African city. No shithole like Mombasa. Well organized. Uber Tuktuk much cheaper than Kenya. Beaches good but Coco Beach little in terms of service. Local Kiswahili food for next to nothing. Restaurants not expensive. In total I would say 30 to 40% cheaper than Kenya. No police bothers you. In fact. I have yet to see an armed police man. Only traffic police. No useless checkpoints. I feel very safe here. Pussy is a plenty. IMHO besides Uganda the best base.
If you prefer cooler climate settle where the German colonists settled. Usambara mountains Moshi or Arusha. I found already a butchery for the meat lover. 1 kg Steak of Ankole beef 12.000 tzs. The currency is depreciating against the Euro due to the fact that most EA currencies are pegged to the USD which is getting weaker by the day. The only thing. Learn Kiswahili.

Posts: 1486Escape from Covid-19 prison. Going native
Life is as good as it gets. I am sitting at my favorite hole in the wall bar. A Kilimanjaro baridi is only 2000. Roots reggae is piped in. Sweet young SWs patrol in front of me. I spent a day as an ordinary African. I eat the food. I use public transportation. No. I am not talking about Uber. And surprise surprise. It worked out well. I spent a grand total of 12.600 tzs equals to 4.55 today. And that includes even one Kilimanjaro beer. No chicas included though. As I am in a totally local quarter anyway. No white face to be seen. And you know what? I don't care. In the last seven years I became African. It seeps into your last blood cell. You can't get rid of it. On the chica side. Here its eternal paradise. If you know what you're doing and are prepared to go native. That means thinking, acting, living, talking local lingo like an African. If you're just a tourist. Fly to Thailand.

It is very easy.
Just go to the Immigration and bring only your passport.
Go to one of the copy shops. They will do the paperwork for you.
You can extend for only 1 month but as often as you want.
There is no fee.

Is around 1100 Usd for apartment that blow your mind. One of the ISG member invite me to his apartment on Pirate beach. Crazy luxury which includes cleaning electricity and everything. At that time I was "Poor" so I lived in semi luxury semi-furniture villa in Mtwapa.
But Kenya is no longer attractive to me and I am getting sick of the racist Government of thailand toward foreigners. (dual schemes, discrimination etc). Altough life here are cheap, I live in a apartment hotel with 2 bedroom for 570 usd a month include everything particularly two monster Aircon working around the clock included in the price. (swimming pool and gym is 50 USD per month opposite my hotel in another hotel). But I am start to get tired in Pattaya.
As I reported in my Kampala report last year I found all all inclusive luxury two bedroom apartment hotel in the middle of the action under 1 Kusd. Including cleaning, internet, electrisity gym etc. https://goo.gl/maps/3hWCLWwQ625dBhuE7. And with no online booking I just walked and asked. With on site negotiation price decline dramatically.
So I just can assume "Dar" as a capital can offer a similar deals. Visa will not be a problem if you have money, just ask for retirement visa or live on the extended tourist visa.

You get a decent unfurnished apartment from 150 $. 2 BR unfurnished house in Oyster bay 400 $. a month. Never rent furnished in Africa. Way too expensive. Very easy and cheap buy simple furniture. And forget AirBnB. Only for overpaying clueless tourists.
The limiting factor might be Visa. There's conflicting information. Some say you can extend the 3 months VOA for another 3 months. I'll check out immigration later. 6 months are ok. Then go on holiday to Mada every 6 months.

Posts: 1486Escape from Covid-19 prison. Part one
The Airbus A321 lifts me up in the morning sky from my Covid prison in Europe. Ghoulish atmosphere at departure. Zombies in MNmasks. This is the last straw which breaks the camel's back. IMHO Europe is becoming inhabitable. To shag you have to fill out forms. Yuck. The check in with Turkish airlines went (almost) without a hitch. First the agent refused me boarding as the airport of destination asked for a "health declaration form" After 20 minutes or so I received my boarding cards. Lugagge checked through to Dar es Salaam. Raha! Turkish comes highly recommend. I got a total of 3 lunch bags. Due to the plandemic. At no stage I was asked for this useless Covid Test. Thermal scanner in Istanbul. On arrival in Dar only thermal scan. The "health declaration form" never materialized. Immigration fast and efficient. Paid 50 $ for 3 months VOA. The taxi tout 4 o'clock in the morning quoted 35 $? I showed him the Uber ride price to Sinza. 16.000 tzs. In the end I paid 30 k. Arrived at my seedy lodge. Room for 30 k including AC. The smaller rooms go for 20 k. Except for a big cucaracha the place is ok. Soon I head out for a preliminary pussy check. And a Serengeti baridi.
And no. Nobody wears MNprotection. LOL.

On the health insurance topic: some travel insurance companies exclude payments (Allianz), but many others do not have an exclusion of Covid-caused treatments by travelling to a restrcited country. Except its war zone.
