Increase in Masai Mara Park fees - all 2024 bookings and beyond

Dear valued client,

 

We would like to inform you that the Narok County Council (NCC), responsible for the stewardship and preservation of the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, has implemented adjustments to its entrance fees for the year 2024 and beyond. Kindly find the revised fee structure outlined below, categorized into two distinct travel seasons.

 

1st January – 30th June 2024 for international visitors
USD$ 100 per day, per adult (up from USD$ 70)

 

1st July – 31st December 2024 for international visitors
USD$ 200 per day, per adult (up from USD$ 70)

 

The updated park fees will be in effect for all individuals visiting the Masai Mara National Reserve starting from January 1, 2024. As this is a government fee increase that is beyond our control, we have had no choice but to revise the rates for all previously confirmed bookings, as well as any provisional 2024 reservations, to reflect these new adjustments.

 

Price increases beyond our control are explained in our BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS (Point no.5) here:
https://www.wild4photographicsafaris.com/booking-terms-and-conditions

 

These price adjustments are aimed at bolstering conservation initiatives, enhancing the Reserve's infrastructure, fostering support for local communities, and ultimately elevating the already extraordinary safari experience within the Masai Mara.

 

Furthermore, we would like to bring to your attention that the enforcement of a new 12-hour rule (from 6 am to 6 pm) has been put into effect immediately. This rule pertains to guests departing from the Masai Mara National Reserve after 11 am, and it will entail an additional full-day park fee charge. This rule does not affect those departing on the morning flight schedule.

 

Guests participating in any activities, including a hot air balloon safari, within the Mara Triangle or Mara Conservancy on the morning of their departure are obligated to pay the full-day park fee for that specific day.

Custom Photographic Safaris with WILD4

Dates To Suit You
Custom Photographic Safaris with WILD4
Any Destination

OVERVIEW

Alongside our scheduled photo safari departures, we also arrange and facilitate customised photo tours to the same locations. We build these tours to the specific needs and interests of each client.

If you would like to take advantage of our experience gained from nearly 20 years operating exclusively in the African Photo Safari environment, please get in touch with us to discuss your requirements so that we can customise a photo safari that's right for you.

SOLO OR IN A GROUP

We arrange photo safaris for solo travellers who prefer to travel alone and collect their own unique images.  We’ll put you in the right place and provide you with a photo-experienced driver/guide.

If you’re a group of like-minded photographic friends who want to plan your own trip, allow us to help you make it happen.

No matter where you want to go and how long you want to travel, we can provide the expertise to facilitate a successful custom photo safari that suits you.

WITH OR WITHOUT A PHOTO HOST

If you need specific photographic tuition and guidance on your custom photo tour, we can provide this (subject to availability).

Alternatively, if you are confident with your own photographic skills and only need the services of a professional, local driver/guide, we are more than happy to set this up for you.

TAILORED TO YOUR BUDGET

Let us know how long you want to travel for, what kind of accommodation you prefer and which destination you are interested in. We’ll offer the best prices possible without compromising the photographic details.

SINGLE OR MULTI-DESTINATION

Choose to stay at just one location or allow us to set up a multi-destination safari for you. This can be within the same country or to multiple countries.

PROFESSIONAL LOCAL GUIDES & PRIVATE VEHICLES

We only make use of professional local guides who are well acquainted with the needs of photographers and who are willing to remain with the action as needed.

Using private safari vehicles means you will only share with like-minded photographers and not regular safari visitors.

TARGET SPECIFIC SPECIES

If you would like to focus on a specific animal and spend all your time searching for Lions or Leopards or Elephants, we will recommend the best places to do this and brief our guides so that you can achieve your personal goal.
