Mid-range
Outside the gate
Owner/family-run
A small owner-run camp on the southern boundary, long established enough to appear on UWA's official park map. Tents and cabanas stand on raised thatched platforms looking across the Narus Valley to Mount Morungole. It publishes no rates and has no live website, which tells you something about how Kidepo works: book by phone or let a Ugandan operator arrange it.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Kidepo Valley National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryCharged per 24 hours rather than per night.
- $40per person, per day
- VehicleA Ugandan-registered 4x4, the usual hire car, at UGX 30,000; bring a foreign-registered one and it is $150.
- $8per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $264 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Entry is sold in 24-hour blocks that begin when you pass the gate, not calendar days. Time your exit before your arrival hour and two nights means two days of fees, not three.
The full fee schedule for Kidepo Valley National ParkRates at Nga'Moru Wilderness Camp
Enquire. No published rates. Described as full board excluding drinks. The camp has no working website, so book by phone or through a Ugandan operator.

Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates gathered July 2026 from operators' own published rate cards where they exist. Kidepo is unusual: nine of the eleven properties we found publish no prices at all, and several widely-listed lodges could not be verified as operating. Where we show no price, none is published; always confirm directly. Buffalo Base Guesthouse and Campsite in Karenga village was on this list until July 2026. A contact on the ground reports it closed at the start of the year. We could not reach the property to confirm, so it is off the list rather than sending anyone eight kilometres to a locked gate. NAMONI Lodge, Zebra Safari Lodge and Katurum Kidepo Lodge were added on 28 July 2026 after a reader pointed out we had missed them. All three are Ugandan owned. NAMONI's entry comes from the lodge's own 2026-27 brochure. The other two publish nothing themselves, so their entries come from booking platforms, which we say plainly because it is a weaker source than we normally use.
Questions about Nga'Moru Wilderness Camp
Is Nga'Moru Wilderness Camp good for families?
Nga'Moru has no working website, so we found no child policy for the camp itself. It is a small, personal camp of three tents and two cabanas for around ten guests, which suits a family wanting a quiet base, but confirm by phone or through a Ugandan operator what age policy applies.
How much does Nga'Moru Wilderness Camp cost?
Nga'Moru publishes no rates; the record describes the stay as full board excluding drinks, with no figure attached. Since the camp has no working website, the only way to get a current price is to call directly or book through a Ugandan safari operator.
How do you book Nga'Moru Wilderness Camp?
Nga'Moru has no live website, so book by phone or through a Ugandan safari operator. The camp is long established enough to appear on UWA's own official park map, sitting on the southern boundary between the Katurum and Nataba gates, reached via the Apoka airstrip inside the park.
