Karura Forest has introduced a new payment system for all visitors covering gate entry, parking, and other services.

This new system also applies to the Sigiria block of the forest.

In a notice, the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) stated that all payments will now be made through the official e-Citizen platform, using Paybill number 222222.  According to KFS, the new system will be effective starting Friday, August 29, 2025.

In a notice, the KFS said the change follows a government directive that all public services must be onboarded to the e-Citizen platform and that non-designated payment platforms should be closed.
