some of it&#8217;s activities with the aim objectives of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(1) Simplifying the existing pricing for visitors and harmonization of the pricing structure between two Rwandan parks whose management is entrusted to African Parks (Akagera and Nyungwe).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Facilitating longer stays of guests without incurring exponential increases in expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new pricing comes along with tourism improvement on different aspects in the park including:&nbsp;The introduction of a friendly park entry fee, introduction of a friendly annual pass fee, facilitation for domestic visitors, diversification of tourism activities including the introduction of multiple-days walks, and zipline and rope courses and the possibility of separately paying the guiding fee for nature walks and being able to choose half<br>or full day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/greatlakessafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Nyungwe_Nationalpark_rates_2023.pdf\"
