KWS Announces Special Free Entry To National Parks During Easter Holiday
The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) will grant free entry to 10 pupils for every 100 paying students to all national parks, game reserves, and sanctuaries across the country.
In a notice on Tuesday, March 31, KWS said the offer applied to every school trip as a way of promoting local tourism.
According to the notice, the offer is exclusively valid for schools and students from nursery schools through to higher education institutions, including universities.
For children under 6 years old, KWS said they would be admitted to the parks free of charge.
The offer is valid from March 1 to June 30, 2026, and urges schools to take advantage of the April holiday to let learners experience wildlife through the offers.
The best way to finish Term 1? Outside the classroom—where the ceiling is the sky, and the lesson walks by with paws… and sometimes a tail. 🐾

This is not the first time KWS has rolled out free entry or discounted access promotions.
In September 2025, the agency opened national parks, reserves, and sanctuaries to all Kenyan citizens at no cost to commemorate World Tourism Day.
Later in December 2025, KWS introduced limited-time festive promotions, offering free entries for selected children and adults depending on group size and vehicle type, as well as special accommodation deals for park lodges.
On regular days, students are typically charged entry fees ranging from Ksh200 for sanctuaries and most reserves to as much as Ksh750 for premium parks such as Amboseli and Lake Nakuru National Park.
