Everything you need to know about Ugandan park entrance fees is that each permit is valid for 24 hours from the time of entry. Uganda park entrance fees can be paid easily at the park entrance gate using credit cards and mobile money.
However, it is always a good idea to carry some cash in both US dollars and Ugandan shillings in case the network at the entrance gate is not working.
When you book and pay for a gorilla or chimp trekking permit in Bwindi, Kibale, or Mgahinga National Parks, the park entrance fee is included, so you do not need to pay it separately.
