Hi my wife’s family are going on safari entering Kenya travelling to Tanzania then back to Kenya.
Couple of questions what’s the official sites for applying for Evisas and do they need a multiple entry visa for Kenya as leaving the country for Tanzania for a few days then returning to Kenya.
I am trying to help them avoid the agency sharks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multi-entry for Kenya would be required and you can apply via the link on the Kenya High Commission site ( https://www.kenyahighcom.org.uk/multiple-entry-vis...). I wouldn't trust any other sources for the visa - best to go via the embassy/HC link.

There is a similar link for Tanzania - https://tzhc.uk/online-visa-application/

Unfortunately Tz isn't part of the East Africa Visa program that Kenya has set up, so two visas would be required.

Thank you for your reply, I have told her this already but I wanted confirmation as never done Kenya etc myself. So she needs multiple entry for Kenya instead of 2 single entries which works out the same cost $101 vs $51 x 2.
This is the link I found for Kenya evisa.go.ke

You wouldn't be able to apply for 2x single entry visas at the same time anyway (or at least that used to be the case); multi-entry is the way to go.

ETA yeah that evisa link is the correct one to use.

Bit of an update if anyone is thinking of going to Kenya / Tanzania.
Apparently you only need a single entry visa if you are flying to Kenya then leaving to Tanzania/Uganda for say a safari then going back in to Kenya but obviously you will need separate visas for other 2 countries.
Multi entry visa is only for those who visit Kenya regularly.
