Remote airstrip serving Zimbabwe's Zambezi Valley wilderness.

Location
Deka, Zimbabwe
Deka Airport (ICAO: FVDE) is a small, remote airstrip located near the Deka area in Matabeleland North Province, Zimbabwe, situated close to the Zambezi River and the Hwange district. The facility primarily serves light aircraft operations supporting wildlife conservation, safari lodges, and bush camps in the surrounding region. The airstrip is not served by scheduled commercial airline services and functions mainly as a bush airstrip for charter flights and private aviation.
