Tourism is slowly but surely returning to normal in East Africa after regional states opened their skies and territorial borders for both regional and global holidaymakers. Most countries in East Africa have opened up their skies ready to welcome tourists as the COVID-19 pandemic numbers are sliding down in most regional states with each country taking safety measures. Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda have opened their skies between August and October after Tanzania had taken the same measures by the end of May this year. Kenya had opened up its skies then allowed flights from Uganda and Ethiopia, as well as Rwanda and later Tanzania. Site visits to a few places in Northern Tanzania and parts of Kenya had shown a smooth recovery of tourism in East Africa with international tourists seen booking hotels and safari itineraries.
