The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is in the final phase of a nationwide campaign to gather public input on proposal to revise park entry and conservation fees.

The move, aimed at bridging a Sh12 billion annual funding gap, marks the first comprehensive fee review in nearly two decades and is being driven by the draft Wildlife Conservation and Management (Access and Conservation Fees) Regulations, 2025.
