If you leave the EATV (KE RW UG) area I. E. Travel to TZ for example the EATV is void. If you want to reenter Kenya for example you need to buy a new visa.
EATV is multi entry even if you leave any of the 3 countries you can re-enter within the 90 days.

You fly to Addis Ababa and return after a couple of days and you're good for another 90+90 days. Or you give kito kidogo 30.000 ksh and you so to speak virtually leave and return to KE i.e. get stamped out and in with a new sticker. There's helpful minders full service. I know people who are here more than 10 years. In fact there is a Scotsman in his eighties in Mtwapa. He simply burned his passport. Hence nobody bothers deporting him.

Posts: 323East Africa Community (EAC) Visa
There are 6 EAC countries: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, S. Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. I read that DRC may join in the future.
You can get individual country Visas but, but its my understanding that the EAC Visa is good for only 3 countries. The EAC Visa is a 90-day, single entry visa into the EAC but allows multiple entry between Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. It is not renewable.

Now that I think about it, there's one more visa problem that I may run into: if my staying in Uganda exceeds the end date of my initial 90 days Kenyan VOA, I may not be able to get a new 90 day Kenyan VOA when returning into Kenya as this would exceed the 180 days max staying in East Africa. That problem could be avoided by extending the Kenyan VOA way before the 90 days expire. I tried that once, in Mombasa, but immigration refused to extend it before the last week of the visas validity. Other than that Mombasa immigration is efficient and without causing problems.

1. Yes, visa on arrival in Uganda assuming your British or similar (check the website).
2. No its not. Your Kenyan visa will be effectively "cancelled" on exit to Uganda.
Make memories and enjoy your trip!

Posts: 21Question about visa. Visiting both Kenya and Uganda
I did a search here, but I did not find this info. Probably some of the more experienced East Africa travellers have some boots-on-the-ground experience with this.
I plan to visit both Kenya and Uganda, for 180 days in total. Kenya first.
I read the East Africa visa (valid for 90 days) cannot be extended, so that's not an option, most likely.
Staying in Kenya and extending a 90 day single entry tourist visa is easy enough. Have done that before, in Mombasa, for 2200 kes.
When you travel from Kenya to Uganda you can buy a single entry tourist visa on arrival, like in Kenya, I think. At Entebbe airport only, or when you travel by bus via Busia too?
When returning from Uganda to Kenya (assuming within the first 90 days) is the Kenya visa still valid? I know 'single entry' suggests it isn't, but I read somewhere that it is nonetheless.
