About Sesheke Airport
Sesheke Airport is a small public airport located in the town of Sesheke in Zambia's Western Province, close to the Namibian border. It also serves the nearby town of Katima Mulilo, which lies across the Zambezi River in Namibia. The airport has a single gravel runway designated 09/27 and sits at an elevation of about 3,100 feet. Its role is primarily regional, supporting light aircraft, charter, private and general aviation movements rather than large-scale commercial traffic. By road, the airport is about 1 km from central Sesheke, with Katima Mulilo only a short distance away across the river and Livingstone roughly 190 km to the southeast. Ground transport is mainly by private vehicle, taxi or pre-arranged transfer, as the airport itself has limited passenger infrastructure. Despite its small size, the airport provides a useful access point for border communities and travellers moving through the upper Zambezi region.
