In Summary








The Kenya Wildlife Service has proposed a review of park and conservation fees aimed at balancing value with accessibility.

The proposed changes include a 30–70% fee increase, tiered by park type and visitor category, with affordable rates for Kenyans and East African residents.

Other highlights include free entry for seniors aged 70+, persons with disabilities, and the introduction of annual passes.

Additional proposals include discounted conference packages, an adjusted child age bracket to 5–17 years, and expanded visitor experiences.

These changes aim to boost conservation financing, protect Kenya’s iconic wildlife, and ensure continued community benefits from tourism revenues.
