Increase in Masai Mara 2024 Park Fees
We wanted to inform you that over the past few months, there have been ongoing discussions concerning the management and conservation of Kenya's national parks, game reserves and conservancies on how to ensure that Kenya is able to preserve some of its most treasured and vulnerable wildlife spaces in 2024 and beyond.
To do this the Kenya Wildlife Service and Narok County Government have announced the gazettement of the increases to park fees, please find the confirmed 2024 Masai Mara park fees below. We are informing our partners as these increases will have to be passed on for all new and existing/confirmed bookings from January 2024 as this is a government fee that is beyond our control.
Masai Mara:
The Narok County government is looking to implement the following changes:
1. Park fees are now only valid for 12 hours: from 6 am to 6 pm daily. The original park fees were valid for 24 hours from the time of entry.
° On the departure day, guests have until 11 am to exit to avoid incurring further park fees. This means that guests who are booked on afternoon departure flights will be subject to an additional day of park fees.
° This change has already been implemented by the Masai Mara Rangers and we are currently managing this on a case-by-case basis on the ground for 2023 confirmed bookings.
° The additional day's park fee will be applied to any late departures from the Masai Mara to all confirmed and new bookings.
2. The proposed 2024 park fees will be increased by the following amounts:
° 1 January – 30 June 2024: The new rates are USD 100 for the low season, taking effect from January 2024.
° 1 July – 31 December 2024: The new rates are USD 200 for the high season, taking effect from July 2024.
We hope this upfront communication will assist you in communicating.
