Kenya: New, reduced entry fees to Kenya's National Parks!

Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has reduced entry fees to Kenya's National Parks and Reserves. Effective 01 November 2016, all fees were capped at $60 (Sh 6,000) for adult non-residents and Sh860 for adult Kenyan citizens. This follows a decision by the Kenyan government to exempt entry fees to National Parks and Reserves from Value Added Tax (VAT). VAT was previously factored in all entry fees and other services offered in the Parks and Reserves managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).

The money collected as entrance fees by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is primarily used to help the conservation of the plants and animals within the National Parks and Reserves in Kenya.
