The Maasai Mara National Reserve entrance fee for non-resident adults is USD 100 per person per day from January 1 to June 30, 2025, and USD 200 per day from July 1 to December 31, 2025[1][3][5][7]. For children aged 9 to 17 years, the entrance fee is USD 50 per day, while children up to 8 years old enter free[1][5][7].
This fee structure applies regardless of whether visitors stay inside or outside the reserve. The entry ticket has a 12-hour validity, typically from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. Departure rules specify that, by road, visitors must exit the reserve by 10:00 am on the day their permit expires, or another day’s fee will be charged[1][2][5].
Permits can be obtained upon arrival at any main entry gate, including Sekenani, Oloolaimutia, Talek, Musiara, or Purungat Mara River Gates. Payment can be made by credit card or MPESA Mobile Money[2]. Entry fees help fund wildlife conservation and maintenance of the reserve[7].
