CS Mutua Announces Free Access to National Parks on Jamhuri Day.
Speaking on Friday, Minister for Tourism and Wildlife, CS Mutua Announces Free Access to National Parks on Jamhuri Day.
He stated;
Kenya boasts breathtaking landscapes, from vast savannahs to pristine beaches and majestic mountains, showcasing the country’s unparalleled beauty. Our rich flora and fauna stand as a testament to our national pride and conservation efforts, inviting visitors to revel in these natural wonders.
In commemorating our 60th year of independence, the Government proudly announces free entry for Kenyan citizens to all national parks and museums on Jamhuri Day, December 12, 2023. This initiative aligns with our collective pride in being Kenyan and our desire for everyone to relish the gifts bestowed upon us by nature.
Please pack a picnic basket and gather your family to savour the treasures we’ve cherished and protected for your enjoyment.
This complimentary access encompasses marine parks, the Safari walk, and animal orphanages, from 6 am to 6 pm on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.
Proof of identification is required for Kenyan citizens, with children accompanying parents or guardians who possess identification proof.
Should a facility reach full capacity, we kindly urge patience to allow departing visitors to create space for others. Compliance with our staff’s guidance at entry points and within the premises is greatly appreciated.
I extend a call to Governors overseeing county governments managing national reserves to consider a similar waiver, enabling all Kenyan citizens to revel and enjoy in our shared heritage.
Let’s unite in celebration and embrace this opportunity to enjoy as one.
