KWS park-fee proposal for 2027 — what are you seeing?

James Mwangi·Kibo AdventuresFounding

Heard from a KWS contact that the conservancy fee floor for Mara may move up to $130 from $100 in January 2027. Not announced yet. Anyone else hearing the same? Need to know before we commit to the European agent quotes for next season.

My KWS contact in Nairobi said the same — board is signing in November. $130 floor confirmed; the conservancy-association uplift on top of that is still in negotiation.

Same. We are quoting 2027 itineraries at $135 to give a buffer. Holding off on European-agent group bookings until end-October.

Has anyone heard whether Mara Triangle is moving in line? My Triangle quotes are still at $90.
