About Amboseli Airport
Amboseli Airport is the main air gateway for Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya. The compact airstrip serves safari travelers heading to the lodges, camps, and game-viewing areas around Ol Tukai, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro often visible on clear days.
The airport has a single asphalt runway at an elevation of about 1,145 metres and one small terminal area used for all passenger services. It is served mainly by regional safari carriers such as Safarilink and AirKenya, with light aircraft flights connecting from Nairobi's Wilson Airport in around 40 to 60 minutes.
Located within the Amboseli ecosystem in Kajiado County, the airstrip sits close to the national park's main gate and several lodges. Arriving passengers are typically met by pre-arranged safari vehicles, while road transfers from Nairobi take roughly four to five hours.
Facilities remain simple, with basic restrooms, a sheltered waiting zone, and local kiosks, so it functions as a practical safari arrival point rather than a large commercial airport.
