Kenya is a country governed by the rule of law. There was no public participation,\u201d said Odek.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">The federation argues that the 5 percent gateway charge, added on top of park-entry fees, has no legal backing and will significantly raise operating costs for tour operators, many of whom make large daily payments to KWS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">The new system currently allows only Mpesa and Visa card payments, a restriction KTF says complicates transactions during peak tourist seasons when card limits are quickly reached.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">\u201cThese gateway fees are both inequitable and discriminatory as they charge different operators higher fees for the same service \u2013 purchase of park entry fees,\u201d the federation noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">\u201cIndustry practice has always been to give discounts to higher volumes and not the other way round.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">KTF estimates that the sector stands to lose more than Sh370 million annually in extra payments extracted through these unbudgeted gateway fees, based on projected 2024 park-revenue figures of Sh7.41 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">\u201cThese new charges risk making the Kenyan safari more expensive. Kenya is getting a bad reputation as an uncredible\u00a0tour destination. And what we have is not unique to Kenya; Africa offers a lot of alternatives,\u201d Odek warned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">The federation also faulted KWS for implementing the system while a court order issued on October 1, 2025, had barred the application of new park-fee rates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">It argues that KWS should have reverted to the previous eCitizen platform pending the court\u2019s determination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">The controversy comes on the heels of a broader government review of park-entry fees under the Wildlife Conservation and Management (Access and Conservation) (Fees) Regulations, 2025, approved by Parliament in September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">According to the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife\u2019s Regulatory Impact Statement, the reforms are expected to raise KWS park-fee revenues from Sh7.41 billion in 2024 to Sh16.58 billion by 2028, as the government seeks to bolster conservation financing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">Under the changes, Nairobi National Park entry charges for residents were set to rise from Sh430 to Sh1,000, while foreigners would pay Sh10,360, up from Sh5,570.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">Premium parks such as Amboseli and Lake Nakuru were to charge Sh1,500 for locals and Sh11,660 for foreigners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">Mid-tier parks like Meru and Aberdare would cost Sh800 for locals and Sh9,070 for foreigners, while Hell\u2019s Gate fees would be Sh500.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">While the Ministry defends the new pricing as necessary for sustainability, industry players argue that hidden transaction costs and restrictive payment options undermine transparency and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">KTF is now calling for the immediate suspension of the 5 percent gateway fee, restoration of the former eCitizen payment portal, and strict adherence to the existing court order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 3 &#8211; The Kenya Tourism Federation (KTF) has pushed back against recent changes introduced by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to its park-entry payment portal, terming the new system \u201cunacceptable\u201d and financially punitive to industry players.
