The Ministry of Tourism has revised its park entry fee with an upward increase for Kenyan Citizens while slashing almost to half the fee amount on international tourists.
“We want to encourage Kenyans to enter the parks for longer durations. The longer they stay, the more business they give to the tour guides, hotels, lodges as well as the curio dealers,” said CS Balala.
“We have also given a one-year moratorium to lodge owners in its parks and reserves, for rent payment starting July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. We have also announced a 50 per cent discount on filming fees for both local and international producers filming in parks and reserves.” CS Najib Balala stated.
As per the new park entry fees, domestic tourists will part with Sh400 down from Sh300 for access to Nairobi National Park. Charges for Nakuru, Amboseli parks went from Sh500 to Sh800, a 60% rise. For those visiting Tsavo East and West parks, they will pay Sh500 down from Sh350. This translates to a 42.8 percent rise.
For the foreigners, the ministry slashed by more than half; park fees for Nakuru and Amboseli parks. They will be charged Sh3,787 from Sh8,656. Those accessing Nairobi National Park will pay Sh3,787 down from Sh4,328.
