Mara Serena Lodge Airstrip — Serena, Kenya

Mara Serena Lodge Airstrip serves the Serena Lodge within Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa's premier wildlife viewing destinations famous for the annual wildebeest migration. MRE is a small bush airstrip designed exclusively for tourism, handling light aircraft that ferry safari visitors directly between the reserve and hubs like Nairobi's Wilson Airport. There is no scheduled commercial jet service; instead, small carriers operating Cessna Caravans and similar bush planes provide frequent short-hop flights during peak safari season. The airstrip's unpaved surface and remote savanna location are typical of Kenya's extensive network of safari airstrips, which prioritize quick access to lodges over infrastructure scale. MRE plays an essential role in Kenya's high-end safari tourism economy.
