South Kitui National Reserve and Mwingi National game reserve.

South Kitui National Reserve is a vast, under‑the‑radar wilderness in eastern Kenya that offers a quiet, authentic safari experience away from the usual crowds.
Where it is?
✓South Kitui National Reserve lies about 30 km east of Mutomo, in Kitui County, just north of Tsavo East National Park and within the greater Tsavo conservation area.
✓It covers roughly 1,830–1,833 km² of acacia savannah, thickets, grasslands, and dry bush country, forming an important wildlife migration corridor between Tsavo and the Kitui landscape.

Wildlife and scenery.
✓The reserve is known for lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards, lesser kudu, gerenuk, zebra, and other antelope species that move between Tsavo and South Kitui.
✓Birdwatchers also enjoy a rich variety of species in the acacia woodlands and open plains, while scenic hills such as Kiothowa and Umbi provide dramatic backdrops for game drives, hikes, and photography. 

What to do there?
✓Visitors typically enjoy early‑morning and late‑afternoon game drives, nature walks, and guided hikes through the reserve’s rolling terrain. Some operators also offer mountain biking and camping options, letting you sleep under the stars in a peaceful, relatively undisturbed part of Kenya’s wildlife network.

Why visit with Josantos Safaris?
✓Josantos Safaris can tailor a trip to South Kitui National Reserve as part of a broader Tsavo or eastern Kenya safari, including transport, knowledgeable guides, and comfortable lodges or camps.

Gateway fees 8.5% by Kenya Wildlife Service

Image
The newly introduced 8.5% Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) gateway card processing fee is a significant development affecting tourism in Kenya in 2025. This fee applies to all payments made via cards (Visa and M-PESA Visa card), which is now the only accepted payment method after the removal of bank transfer options.  The 8.5% charge is unusually high compared to other government or payment processing fees, creating financial pressure on tour operators and tourists alike.Effects on Tourism and Tour Operators: The card processing fee increases the overall cost burden on tourists, which operators may have to absorb or pass on to clients, potentially making Kenyan safaris less price competitive. Tour operators face challenges in managing their finances and pricing structures due to this increased transactional cost, especially for large group payments. There is widespread dissatisfaction from tourism stakeholders, including the Kenya Tourism Federation,...
