The park entry fee can be paid at the gate or prepaid at the bank in Nairobi before going to the park. It only costs 80$ per person which expires after every 24 hours if they are staying inside the reserve. The park fees paid gives you entitlement to do all the game drives at the park and other activities like birding, nature walks.
