Great news Campers! Just got word via Magical Kenya that…

“The Kenya Visa reduction is now in full force meaning travellers to Kenya will obtain a 50% reduction and under 16’s will go free when obtaining a visa before travel through the High Commission or when landing in Kenya.  This 50% reduction and under 16 cut came into operation on 6th April 2009, only a few days later than expected, and will be valid until the end of 2010.”

According to Magical Kenya, (the official tourism webplatform, “The Move is to benefit visitors to Kenya in the long term and make the country even more appealing for the growing family market. The visa cost has been reduced from  $50 to 25$ and no cost for children under 16, so a family of four (with two children under 16) will now only have to pay 50$ for the two adults, offering a massive saving of $150. If buying before travel with the High Commission the reduction means each Visa will be £20 rather than $30….”

In this global recession, it is wonderful to see Kenya making a huge effort to keep encouraging tourists to come to Kenya. Well done!
