Welcome to Amboseli National Park, one of Kenya’s most beloved wildlife sanctuaries, famed for its stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and rich wildlife, including large herds of elephants. Amidst its natural beauty, there is an ongoing legal discussion concerning the park’s entry fees, which is essential for visitors to understand.
1. Current Amboseli Entry Fees
Currently, Amboseli National Park has set entry fees designed to accommodate both residents and international visitors.
- For Kenyan Residents and East African Citizens, the fees are Ksh 800 for adults and Ksh 215 for children and students.
- For non-residents, the pricing varies between seasons: USD 70 per adult in the high season and USD 40 in the low season, with a flat rate of USD 20 for children.
These fees are crucial for the maintenance and conservation efforts within the park but are subject to change due to ongoing legal proceedings.
2. Legal Developments Affecting Entry Fees
Recent legal actions have impacted the fee structure at Amboseli National Park. In late 2023, a court injunction was issued against the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), preventing them from implementing a revised fee schedule that was set for 2024 – 2025. This decision came after claims of inadequate public participation and other procedural issues. As a result, the fees listed above will remain in effect until further notice, pending a court hearing scheduled for February 2024.
