In March 2022, Uganda Wildlife Authority released a new Conservation Tariff which will be effective from 1st July 2022. The good news is that there are very few price increases. The most notable change in Uganda Wildlife Authority’s new price list is the increased entry fee to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s most popular safari destination.
