Kenya/ Rwanda/ Congo

Planning my visa's etc for an upcoming trip to Kenya and the Congo (via Rwanda). Does anyone have experience with the East Africa Tourist Visa? I fly ZRH-NBO on LX and on a separate ticket connect to KQ NBO-KGL. I then take a car to the Congo border and cross into the Congo for a Volcano trek and a Gorilla trek. I then cross back into Rwanda and head back to KGL to fly back to NBO on KQ from which i will head to the Masai Mara for 4 nights.

Do i need to clear customs at NBO or can I remain airside and just wait for my connection to KGL (land on a saturday at 7pm ish and then connect to a flight at 00:05 on the sunday morning)? if so then i guess i get my East Africa Tourist Visa for a Rwanda arrival and not a Kenya arrival. Will the East Africa Tourist Visa allow me to cross back into Rwanda after my Congo visit? and then allow me into Kenya for my Safari?

My Congo visa is handle by the park so that is easy. Also can I get the East Africa Tourist Visa on arrival in KGL?

Any other tips for this itinerary?

Thank you,
