Indicative rates gathered July 2026 from operators' own sites, the official African Parks rate sheet and, for Mvuu, third-party rate cards, since the operator publishes none. Always confirm with the lodge. Park fees of $30 per international adult are generally extra, and note that the park prices fees per person per night.
