Remote gateway to Senegal's southeastern wilderness region.

Location
Kédougou, Senegal
Kédougou Airport (IATA: KGG, ICAO: GOTK) is a small regional airport serving the city of Kédougou in the far southeastern corner of Senegal. It provides air access to one of the country's most remote and least-developed regions, situated near the borders with Guinea and Mali. The airport primarily supports light aircraft and occasional domestic flights, connecting Kédougou to the capital Dakar and other Senegalese cities. The surrounding region is known for its gold mining activity, national parks such as Niokolo-Koba, and the Bassari cultural landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Due to limited infrastructure and sparse population in the region, the airport sees very low passenger traffic and operates with basic facilities. It plays an important logistical role for humanitarian, government, and mining-sector operations in the area.
Terminals
The airport has a single, small terminal with basic facilities suited to its low passenger volumes.
Getting to & from
Ground transport into Kédougou city is limited, with taxis and informal vehicles being the primary options connecting the airport to the town center.
