It is now official that Park entrance fees will be increased with effect from 01.01.2009. This will in the first instance affect the KWS Parks (Kenya Wildlife Society) only. We are still waiting to see if Mara Game reserve and Samburu will follow suit. KWS has the following new Park entry fees per person per night. Premium Parks (Adults USD 60/- Children under 12 years USD 30/-) Amboseli National Park Lake Nakuru National Park Urban Safari (Adults USD 40/- Children under 12 years USD 20/-) Nairobi National Park Wilderness Parks (Adults USD 50/- Children under 12 years USD 25/-) Aberdares National Park Tsavo East National Park Tsavo West National Park Meru National Park Chyullu Hills National Park Kora National Park Mt. Kenya Scenic & Special Interest (Adults USD 20/- up to USD 25/- Children under 12 years USD 25/-) Hells Gate Mt Elgon Shimba Hills National Reserve Arabuko Sokoke Forest Reserve Ndere Island Tana Primate Reserve Kakamega Forest All other Parks and Reserves Park entry fee for Masai Mara Game Reserve A new attempt is being made to the curb the misuse of the Park tickets and fees. With immediate effect all Tour operators and private visitors will have to buy the entry tickets in advance in Nairobi for the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Payments can only be made using bank er's cheques or else be obtained in advance. Only KATO members are allowed to pay using company cheques in exceptionsl cases. This means that the use of hard cash will no longer be accepted at any entry point of the reserve. This has a negative impact on self-drive clients as they are no longer flexible to just enter in & out of the game reserve or extend nights as they please. |
