Remote airstrip serving the Rupununi savannah of southern Guyana.

Location
Dadanawa, Guyana
Dadanawa Airport is a small, unpaved airstrip located near the Dadanawa Ranch in the South Rupununi region of Guyana. It serves as a vital link for the remote cattle-ranching community and surrounding indigenous villages, which have no practical road access to major population centers. The airstrip supports light aircraft operations, primarily used for cargo, medical evacuations, and occasional charter flights. It plays an important role in connecting the isolated Rupununi savannah region to Georgetown and other parts of Guyana. Dadanawa Ranch, one of the largest cattle ranches in South America, historically relied on this airstrip for supplies and communications, and the facility remains essential for the region's sparse population.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options from the airstrip are extremely limited, consisting primarily of ranch vehicles and unpaved tracks connecting to Dadanawa Ranch and nearby villages.
Airlines here
No scheduled commercial airlines operate regular service; the airstrip is served by charter and general aviation operators.
