Understanding Mount Kenya National Park Entry Fees

Mount Kenya National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, requires visitors to obtain specific permits for entry and climbing. The primary fee structure for Mount Kenya climbing permits from Nanyuki is set by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). These permits are typically charged per person, per day, for park entry. In addition to park entry, specific climbing permits may be required for ascending to higher altitudes and tented villages like Nelion and Lenana. For international visitors, the daily park entry fee can range from approximately $50-$70 USD. For East African residents and Kenyan citizens, these fees are significantly lower, reflecting our commitment to making the beauty of Mount Kenya accessible.
