TANAPA implemented their threatened repeat entrance fee directive, effective April 1. What initially looked like an April Fools’ Day joke, turned out to be the bitter truth, and the most affected will be local communities around national parks. They have in the past benefited from tourists leaving the park for a few hours to see local homesteads, visit cottage industries, and left vital tourist dollars where the money does the most good – at the grassroots levels. Such visits are now likely to dry up as the prospect of having to pay a second entrance fee will deter most tourists, and the safari operators, too, from continuing with such value-added trips.
