Keekorok Airport (KEU/HKKE) is a small safari airstrip in Kenya's Masai Mara ecosystem, located near Keekorok Lodge in Narok County. It mainly serves light aircraft on domestic safari circuits from Nairobi Wilson Airport and other Mara airstrips. Its position gives quick access to the reserve's southern plains and surrounding conservancies.
💡 Local Tip
Pack soft-sided luggage and keep within the safari flight weight limit—usually around 15 kg per person—because small aircraft have limited space and the airstrip has no secure luggage storage.
🚖 Getting There
Most travelers reach Keekorok Airport on a pre-arranged lodge or camp transfer, as there is no regular public transport or taxi rank at the strip. If self-driving, use a high-clearance 4x4 and allow extra time in the rainy season when reserve tracks can be muddy. Share your flight details with your camp in advance so a guide can meet you on arrival.
