Arly Airport (ARL/DFER) is a small airstrip serving Arly in southeastern Burkina Faso, close to the border with Benin and Arli National Park. It primarily handles light aircraft and charter flights for tourists visiting the Arli-Pendjari conservation area. The facility is basic, with limited services, so visitors should plan logistics in advance.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm the airstrip's condition and fuel availability with their operator or lodge the day before travel, and carry small CFA franc notes for park fees, guides, and tips.
🚖 Getting There
Arrange a 4x4 pickup or lodge transfer in advance, as taxis and ride-hailing are not reliably available at the airstrip. The drive to Arly town and park lodges is short but can be slow on unpaved roads, especially in the rainy season (June–October). Confirm your driver's contact and meeting point before departure.
