Kenya park fees for 2026

Are park fees included in my safari?
- Mid-range, private and luxury safaris: yes, park fees are included in your quote.
- Budget and group safaris: no. Park fees are paid separately, which keeps the advertised price low and fully transparent. We tell you exactly which fees apply to your route.
How to pay park fees online
All park gates in Kenya are cashless. Fees for Kenya Wildlife Service parks (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Nairobi, Tsavo and others) are paid through Kenya’s official eCitizen government platform. Masai Mara fees are collected by Narok County.
On budget safaris, we help you pay through the official portals step by step before you travel, so you arrive with your permits ready.
