It provides essential light-aircraft access to Karanambo Ranch and nearby eco-lodges along the Rupununi River, an area famous for giant river otters and wildlife. The strip handles mostly charter and seasonal flights rather than scheduled airline service.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to keep luggage within strict charter weight limits and to carry small bills in Guyanese dollars—there are no ATMs or card facilities in Karanambo, and tips or local purchases are cash-only.
🚖 Getting There
There is no public transport or taxi service at the airstrip, so arrange a pickup with your lodge or Karanambo Ranch before arrival. Depending on water levels, the final leg may involve a short drive or boat ride along the Rupununi River. Allow extra time in the wet season, as unpaved access roads and the airstrip itself can be affected by rain.
