✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Ol Seki Naboisho Airstrip (OSJ/HKOY) is a small unpaved safari airstrip in Kenya’s Naboisho Conservancy, within the Greater Masai Mara ecosystem. It primarily serves light aircraft carrying guests to nearby camps such as Ol Seki Hemingways Mara and other Naboisho Conservancy lodges. The strip provides quick access to wildlife areas while avoiding long road transfers from Nairobi or the main Mara gates.
💡 Local Tip
On departure, ask your pilot for a window seat on the side facing the conservancy—flights often route over wildlife areas, and the aerial view is part of the safari experience.
🚖 Getting There
Most travelers reach OSJ by light aircraft from Nairobi Wilson Airport or another Mara airstrip, arranged through their safari camp. Camp vehicles typically meet arrivals for the final drive; confirm pickup details and luggage limits in advance. If self-driving, use a high-clearance 4x4, especially in the rainy season, and allow extra time for rough conservancy roads.
