After 52 years under national government control, Amboseli National Park's management has been officially transferred to the Kajiado County Government. This significant shift, formalized by a Deed of Transfer, means Kajiado County will now oversee daily operations, conservation, tourism, and wildlife protection, while the national government, through the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), retains ownership and oversight.

  • The transfer became effective 21 days from its execution date of October 14, following months of lobbying and approval by President William Ruto's cabinet in November 2024.
  • A revenue-sharing formula dictates that Kajiado County will receive 100 percent of the park's revenue by the 2028/2029 FY, with five percent perpetually reserved for the national government.
  • The agreement is for an initial renewable period of 15 years, marking a major decentralization in Kenya's park management and offering Kajiado County a new significant asset and revenue source.
