Entrance Fees Masai Mara – Important Changes 2024

The Narok County Council, which conserves and protects the Masai Mara National Reserve, has confirmed changes to the Masai Mara Entry Fees, which are effective for all guests visiting the Mara from 1st January 2024.

The Masai Mara National Reserve Fees will be divided in low and high season:

LOW SEASON (January-June)	HIGH SEASON (July-December)
Adults	Adults
100 USD for Non-Residents 2,500 KES for EA Residents 1,500 KES for Citizens	200 USD for Non-Residents 5,000 KES for EA Residents 2,000 KES for Citizens
Children 9-17 years	Children 9-17 years
50 USD for Non-Residents 1,000 KES for EA Residents 300 KES for Citizens	50 USD for Non-Residents 2,000 KES for EA Residents 500 KES for Citizens
Children 8 years and below enter for free	Children 8 years and below enter for free

12-Hours Ticket Validity Rule
The 12-hours validity for the Masai Mara entry tickets (changed from 24-hours since July) remains.

One ticket is valid for entries from 6am to 6pm per day.
Visitors staying at Mara Siria Camp do not have to pay entrance tickets for their whole stay at the camp. Guests only need to buy their entrance tickets when going on game drives.
The tickets can only be bought cashless via M-Pesa or Credit Card at the park gate.
Guests that arrive and depart to the camp by air receive a two hour transit ticket, issued at the gate, as they head to the airstrip.

We understand that these changes are significant, but we also believe that all guests will benefit from less traffic in the Masai Mara National Reserve. This will ultimately lead to more exclusive wildlife experiences and to a better protection of the environment and wilderness of Kenya.
