Kenya faces a potential loss of business to other East African countries following the decision to increase entry fees to parks starting this year.

In the new charges, which took effect on January 1, Kenyans and other East African Community (EAC) adults will pay $14 to visit urban parks such as Nairobi National Park during peak and low seasons. Children will pay $3.40 as entry fees, up from $1.4.
