Remote airstrip serving the Rupununi savanna of Guyana.

Location
Karanambo, Guyana
Karanambo Airport is a small, remote airstrip located near the Karanambo Ranch in the Rupununi region of Guyana. It serves as a vital access point for the isolated community of Karanambo, which lies along the Rupununi River in the North Rupununi district. The airport primarily handles light aircraft and charter flights, connecting the area to Lethem and Georgetown. It plays an important role in supporting ecotourism, as Karanambo Ranch is known for giant river otter conservation and wildlife observation. Given its remote location in the interior of Guyana, the airstrip has minimal infrastructure and no commercial airline services. Access by road is extremely difficult, making air travel the most practical means of reaching the area.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airstrip is extremely limited, with access primarily by boat along the Rupununi River or rough overland tracks to the nearby ranch.
