The Milimani High Court has stopped the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) from enforcing newly revised park entry fees, pending the hearing of a petition filed by the Kenya Tourism Federation (KTF). On Thursday, Justice J. Chigiti issued conservatory orders suspending the charges, which KWS had begun implementing on October 1. The new conservation fees were anchored in the Wildlife Conservation and Management (Access, Entry and Conservation) (Fees) Regulations 2025, approved by Parliament on September 25. “The Respondents shall file and serve their response within 7 days from the date of service of the substantive Motion,” he ruled. KTF has asked KWS to defer the new conservation fees to January 1, 2026, the date stakeholders originally proposed.
