Kenyans seeking to visit various parks across the country will have to part with more money after the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) announced plans to increase park fees under the draft Wildlife Conservation and Management (Access and Conservation Fees) Regulations, 2025.
The proposed changes, informed by elasticity modelling and marginal revenue analysis, are expected to impact not only Kenyans but also international visitors.
For non-residents, who exhibit low sensitivity to price changes, KWS is recommending a 50-60 per cent increase in park fees.
Currently, entry to premium parks like Amboseli and Lake Nakuru costs Ksh7,770($60) and is expected to increase to approximately Ksh12,423.
