Masai mara park entry fees 2024
Masai mara park entry fees 2024 : The Narok County Government has announced that starting on July 1st, 2024, the entrance fees to Masai Mara Park would increase to USD 200 per non-resident adult per day. The current fees are USD 100 per non-resident adult per day from January 1st to June 30th, 2024.
From January 1, 2024, until December 31, 2024, children entering Masai Mara National Park will have to pay USD 50 per day. As of mid-October 2023, the County Government has officially confirmed these raised charges, which were merely a proposal.
Beginning on January 1, 2024, all visitors to the Masai Mara National Reserve will be required to pay the increased park entry costs. We will be amending any confirmed and tentative reservations now in progress to reflect the updated prices.
It is important to remember that these increases will support local communities, boost conservation efforts, improve the Reserve’s infrastructure, and eventually improve the already great Masai Mara safari experience.

An overview of Masai Mara National Reserve’s history.
The wider Mara ecosystem, which includes the Mara Triangle and additional Maasai conservancies including Kerinkani, Kimintet, Koiyaki, Lemek, Maji Moto, Mara North, Naikara, Ol Chorro Oirowua, Ol Derkesi, Olkinyei, Oloirien, and Siana, is comprised of the Masai Mara National Reserve. Three sizable rivers drain the reserve: the Talek, Sand, and the more well-known Mara rivers.
The reserve is primarily composed of acacia trees, seasonal rivers, and open grasslands. The Maasai Mara Reserve has two distinct rainfall seasons. Long rains fall in April and May, and short rains fall in November and December.
To the east of the Maasai Mara, the most visited area is overseen by the Narok County Council, while the Mara Triangle is under the management of the Mara Conservancy.
Elected Masai chiefs are in charge of the reserve’s perimeter, which is home to the majority of the area’s Masai settlements. Through the Mara Triangle, the majority of migrating wildebeest arrive at the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
In conclusion, one of Africa’s most well-known and well-liked locations for animal protection is the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The big five mammals—elephants, leopards, rhinoceroses, lions, and buffalo—call it home. The only national park or wildlife reserve in Kenya where there is a natural population of black rhinos is the Masai Mara.
