Narok County is positioned to become a direct gateway to the Masai Mara, one of the world's leading tourism destinations, after President William Ruto announced the construction of Narok International Airport to be ready in March 2026.
Speaking during his first-day tour in the county, the president revealed that the move to build the airport was reached after numerous decries by the residents, who revealed that tourism was their major economic activity and that an airport would expand its value.
During a previous economic forum in Narok County, President William Ruto affirmed the government's commitment to bolstering tourism by constructing an international airport to ease access to the Maasai Mara. "When I came here for the economic forum, the people of Narok told us that since the county is known for tourism, they want an airport that will make travel easier," Ruto noted.
