The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has announced changes to its free entry initiative, clarifying that Lake Nakuru National Park will not be accessible under the programme on Saturday, September 27, 2025.
In a notice issued Friday, KWS said there will be no free
entry to Lake Nakuru National Park on the designated day. However, visitors
who have already purchased prepaid eCitizen tickets will be allowed to access
the park through Nderit Gate between 6a.m. and 6p.m.
The agency further stated that both the park’s main gate at
the flamingo area and Lanet Gate will remain closed throughout the day.
Despite the restrictions at Lake Nakuru, KWS confirmed that
all other national parks, reserves, and sanctuaries under its management will
remain open and accessible free of charge to Kenyan citizens tomorrow as part
of the initiative announced earlier this week.
The service has also reminded the public to strictly observe
park rules and regulations during their visits.
