The Mara fee doubles on 1 July, and last season’s quote doesn’t know it.
Savanna Sync is tour operator software for safari operators and travel agencies in Kenya, and it is based in Nairobi. Build your Kenya packages once and quote each safari from them in KES or USD, with park fees as their own lines — KWS rates by park, and the Maasai Mara’s seasonal rate. Every lodge and camp booking sits on one calendar with double-booking prevention, bed-nights are tracked, and clients are invoiced by M-Pesa or card.

USD 100 per non-resident adult from January to June, USD 200 from July to December.
KWS and Narok County charge non-residents in USD and citizens and residents in KES.
Amboseli is USD 90 a day and Tsavo USD 80, so one circuit crosses two KWS rates.
Two parties into the same camp on the same night — caught far too late in the season.
Cost park fees that change by park, season and traveller category, in the currency they are set in, and keep the bookings behind them straight. Savanna Sync quotes safaris from reusable packages in KES or USD, puts every booking on one calendar with double-booking prevention, tracks bed-nights across your lodges and camps, and invoices by M-Pesa or card — one system from lead to payment.
Price each day at its own season. Narok County’s Finance Act sets the non-resident adult fee at USD 100 a day from 1 January to 30 June and USD 200 from 1 July to 31 December, so two adults on a three-day Mara safari pay USD 600 in May and USD 1,200 in August. Keep the Mara fee as its own line in your Kenya package, and the quote recomputes when the dates or group size change.
Give each park and each traveller category its own line. Legal Notice No. 160 of 2025 sets non-resident adults at USD 90 a day for Amboseli and Lake Nakuru and USD 80 for Nairobi and Tsavo, while East African citizens pay in shillings. Savanna Sync quotes in KES or USD, so a mixed group can be quoted in either, with the exchange rate you applied stated on the quote.
Each figure is from the official source linked under it. Fees change, so confirm them at payment and state on the quote which rates you applied.
Amboseli and Lake Nakuru charge non-resident adults USD 90 a day and children and students USD 45. A daily fee is valid for up to 24 hours. The fees were reportedly suspended by the High Court in October 2025 — the Kenya guide covers what is known, so confirm on KWSPay before you fix a price.

Set by Narok County, not KWS. High season runs 1 July to 31 December and low season 1 January to 30 June. Children aged 9 to 17 pay USD 50, and children 8 and under enter free.
The Finance Act defines the Maasai Mara entry fee as covering 6.00am to 6.00pm, whatever the time of entry — unlike a KWS fee, which is valid for up to 24 hours. Count one Mara fee per day your clients enter.
