Moba Airport (BDV) is a small airstrip serving the town of Moba in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, located near the western shore of Lake Tanganyika. It primarily handles charter and light aircraft, providing vital connectivity for the remote Tanganyika Province. The airport has minimal infrastructure and is a key access point for humanitarian and regional travel.

💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to bring small change in Congolese francs for transport, as ATMs in Moba are unreliable and drivers rarely have change for large notes.

To reach Moba town from the airport, hire a local taxi or motorbike taxi (known as 'boda-boda') outside the airstrip; fares are negotiable and should be agreed upon beforehand.
