## Description

Set on the open grassland of the Masai Mara, roughly 270 kilometres west of Nairobi, MRE is a dirt-and-gravel safari strip rather than a commercial field. It exists to feed the Mara Serena Lodge and neighbouring camps, with light Cessna and Caravan services flown by Safarilink and AirKenya Express. No freight operation runs here — only passenger luggage and small lodge supplies move through, while Kenya's air cargo consolidates at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO). Pilots watch for zebra and wildebeest on the runway during the annual migration, which turns the strip into one of East Africa's busiest bush airfields each season.
