The Kenya Forest Service has assured visitors seeking to enter Karura forest of only one-minute wait times.
In a statement released on Saturday, August 30, KFS guaranteed visitors that the shift would not impact their positive experience of the popular forest that is situated in the nation’s capital of Nairobi.
The service maintained that the only change was seen in the mode of payment and that all other aspects of forest management would remain the same.
“Chief Conservator of Forests Alex Lemarkoko has assured Karuta Forest visitors and service providers that the new payment system will not impact their positive experience. Lemarkoko visited the forest at dawn to oversee the transition to the new platform and interact with visitors, service providers, scouts, and KFS teams,” KFS noted.
“Visitors with annual passes can continue to use them until they expire. The new payment options are phone and card, with an average wait time of only one minute,” KFS added.
