Amboseli Airport – Gateway to the Wild

Nestled inside Amboseli National Park, Amboseli Airport is the serene launchpad into one of Kenya’s most breathtaking wildlife havens. With majestic Mount Kilimanjaro watching from the Tanzanian border and herds of elephants freely roaming nearby, landing here feels like entering a nature documentary.

The airport is modest—a single asphalt runway surrounded by open savannah and the occasional giraffe sighting during takeoff or landing. Small aircrafts from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport (via AirKenya or Safarilink) frequently land here, bringing eager travelers right into the heart of the wild in less than an hour. Though basic in infrastructure, its charm lies in its location—literally inside a national park.

Once you disembark, safari vans from nearby lodges are often waiting. Whether you’re staying at an eco-lodge, tented camp, or luxury retreat, you're only minutes away from game drives, sundowners, and Maasai cultural visits.

Visitor Tip: Book your flight early and coordinate your lodge transfer in advance. There are no taxis or Uber here—just zebras and acacia trees.

This airstrip is a hidden gem! Mount Kilimanjaro views from right here, such a perfect start to your safari adventure. No taxis needed here, which is a huge plus! Can't wait for my next trip to Amboseli.
