The Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) has warned the public to be cautious of unlicensed tourism operators, following reports of fraudulent establishments claiming to operate in the Maasai Mara region. According to a notice dated October 21, 2025, TRA has received multiple complaints about entities falsely representing non-existent hotels. These operators advertise fake jobs and ask applicants to pay for Tourism Health or Food Handlers Certificates. TRA confirmed that these facilities do not exist and urged the public not to make payments or engage with anyone claiming to represent them. Victims or witnesses are advised to report such cases to TRA, the Tourist Police Unit, or the nearest police station.
