Olare Orok Airfield (OLG) is a small safari airstrip in Kenya's Maasai Mara ecosystem, serving Olare Orok Conservancy and nearby safari camps. It primarily handles light aircraft on scheduled and charter flights, usually from Nairobi Wilson Airport. The basic dirt/gravel strip offers quick access to game drives in the Greater Mara.
💡 Local Tip
Sit on the left side when flying from Nairobi for better views over the Rift Valley and Mara, and keep your camera handy because wildlife sometimes crosses or grazes near the runway.
🚖 Getting There
Access is almost entirely by light aircraft from Nairobi Wilson Airport; road transfers from Nairobi take several hours and are not ideal for tight itineraries. Your safari camp usually arranges pickup at the airstrip, so share your flight details in advance. If self-driving, use a 4x4 and allow extra time during the wet season.
