Kogatende airstrip is a small airstrip in Serengeti, Tanzania, and it is the gateway to the northern circuit of Serengeti National Park where paradise beckons. Located at the banks of the Mara River, it serves as the most convenient way to access the most remote areas of the park and is strategically situated in the migration corridor where hundreds of thousands of wildebeests are seen crossing the Mara River during the great migration.
The most comfortable mode to travel to Serengeti National Park is by means of short shuttle flights to Kogatende airstrip, which are really convenient due to the short one-hour flight versus the 5 to 6-hour road journey from Arusha.
