Kichwa Tembo

Kichwa Tembo airport, established in the mid-1990s, is a small regional gateway serving Amboseli and the surrounding safari lodges with a single modest passenger terminal and simple facilities. It’s an important access point for travelers seeking Kilimanjaro views and wildlife, with regular charter and regional connections to Nairobi (typically Wilson) and other southern Kenya airstrips; road transfers to nearby towns and lodges take a few hours depending on terrain. Flights and transfers tend to be reasonably priced compared with main international hubs, though peak safari season can drive fares up, and the field is commonly used by regional carriers and safari operators such as Safarilink and AirKenya.
