Kenyans will once again enjoy free entry into all Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS)-managed national parks, reserves and sanctuaries this Saturday, September 27, 2025, as part of celebrations marking World Tourism Day 2025.
The announcement was made by Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife Hon. Rebecca Miano, who said the initiative is aimed at encouraging Kenyans to explore the country’s iconic natural treasures while fostering a culture of conservation.
This year’s World Tourism Day theme, “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation,” highlights the vital role of tourism in driving economic growth, supporting conservation efforts and creating positive change for communities.
“This initiative is an opportunity for every Kenyan to reconnect with our breathtaking wildlife heritage, deepen our collective commitment to conservation and experience the unparalleled beauty of our natural treasures,” CS Miano said.
By waiving park entry fees, the government hopes to inspire greater appreciation of Kenya’s biodiversity and reinforce the shared responsibility of protecting it for future generations.
Kenyans are encouraged to take advantage of the free entry to explore parks, reserves and sanctuaries and celebrate the wonders that are not only a source of national pride but also a key contributor to the global heritage and tourism economy.
For guidelines on free entry, visitors can check the official KWS website (www.kws.go.ke), follow KWS social media platforms, call the toll-free number 0800597000 or use the KWS WhatsApp customer line at 0726610509.
This is the second consecutive year that the government is offering free entry during World Tourism Day, further reinforcing its commitment to sustainable tourism and conservation.
