✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Jeki Airport (IATA: JEK) is a small bush airstrip serving the Jeki area and safari camps in Zambia’s Lower Zambezi National Park. Located near the Zambezi River and roughly opposite Mana Pools, it handles light charter aircraft rather than scheduled airline traffic. The strip is a key access point for game drives, canoe safaris, and fishing lodges in the Lower Zambezi.
💡 Local Tip
Bring a soft bag rather than a hard suitcase—bush planes serving Jeki have tight luggage limits, and soft bags are much easier to load.
🚖 Getting There
Access is almost always by pre-arranged lodge or charter transfer; there is no public bus or taxi rank at the strip. Most visitors are met on arrival and driven to their camp, often after a short game drive through the Lower Zambezi area. If self-driving, confirm the route and park fees in advance, as roads can be rough in the rainy season.
