The airstrip is serviced by daily scheduled flights from Wilson Airport in Nairobi. Transfers to nearby lodges are typically arranged by the accommodation providers. Luggage weight restrictions are strictly enforced on light aircraft. Ground-access evidence checked 2026-09-06: Mara Conservancy reports a barrier separating the parking/waiting area from the apron (July 2022), and rehabilitation of the parking-area railing alongside visitor-terminal work (March 2026). Sources: https://www.maratriangle.org/mara-monthly/july-2022 and https://www.maratriangle.org/mara-monthly/march-2026-2 . Passenger vehicle collection belongs at the designated ground-access area, not on the runway/apron. These reports do not supply its exact coordinates or a drive-time guarantee: the current airstrip point must not be treated as a verified pickup point. Confirm collection location, strip call, reporting time and access permissions with the carrier/ground operator. No Keekorock-to-Ukunda service or fare is certified by this destination record.
