GOVERNMENT STEPS UP TO IMPROVE ACCESS AT NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK AMID INCREASED VISITOR NUMBERS.
Nairobi, Kenya – May 19, 2025:
We deeply value every visitor who chooses to explore the beauty and wonder of Nairobi National Park. We understand that extended waiting times at entry gates over the weekend may have impacted your experience.
The surge in visitor numbers is a testament to Kenya’s growing appeal as a premier tourism and conference destination, driven by the ongoing international meetings in Nairobi and the successful marketing efforts. We are committed to making your future visits seamless, enjoyable, and memorable.
Your enthusiasm for Kenya’s natural treasures inspires us, and we’re thrilled to see so many of you embracing our prepaid ticketing system-over 60% of visitors on Sunday used this convenient option!
This is a step forward in our shared journey toward smarter, faster, and more enjoyable park access. If you haven’t yet tried it, we invite you to purchase your tickets in advance via the eCitizen platform at https://t.co/6BNssTg9um for a smoother entry.
To ensure your next visit is even better, we are introducing immediate improvements:
https://t.co/sXcjTJifu4 Lanes: Dedicated lanes for prepaid ticket holders to get you into the park faster.
2.Additional Gates: Fully operational East Gate (off Mombasa Road) and Mbagathi Gate (Magadi Road, opposite Multimedia University) to reduce congestion and save you time.
3.Future Access Points: Exploring a new Southern Bypass entry to make your journey even more convenient.
These enhancements are part of our commitment to creating a world-class experience for you while preserving the park’s incredible wildlife. Together, we’re building a future where every visit is not just a trip, but an unforgettable adventure.
Thank you for your patience and support as we continue to improve. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Nairobi National Park, where your journey into Kenya’s natural beauty begins.”

@Laikipia_1 I appreciate the efforts made by the department to mitigate human wildlife conflict in Marmanet forest, Kauka and Silale. The farmers are very happy and I am sure there will be no crop destruction by the elephants when the fence is complete.

@Laikipia_1@DAN_NGUMI_00 , such an insightful discussion. I kindly request that the county government take the issue of pending bills and debt management seriously. It is has been scaring inbestors and any regime leaving behind pending bills intentionally should be pumishable by law

Our resolve to diversify tourism products is, no doubt, firmly on course.
This morning, with the Head of Public Service @koske_felix , we flagged off a fusion of tourism offerings combining cultural shows, sports, wellness and a variety of other attractions.
This maiden Heritage Trails & Barngetuny Mountain Run that has kicked off in Nayahururu will course through Laikipia County with hikers, bikers and a host of fans gearing to transverse 5 counties in the next five days.
This awesome experience will eventually be rolled out elsewhere across the country .
