Kenya's tourism industry is set for a significant boost as Narok County prepares to break ground next week on the much-anticipated upgrade of the Narok Airstrip to full airport status.
This development is expected to enhance tourism in the region, particularly by offering better access to the world-renowned Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
The upgraded airport will also improve connectivity for the local horticulture, agriculture, and livestock sectors, further supporting the region's economic growth.
The airstrip, locally known as the Ewaso-Ngiro Airstrip and located in Oloisiusiu along the Narok-Ewaso Ngiro-Maasai Mara road, has long been a key gateway for tourists visiting the Maasai Mara.
