Niokolo-Koba Airport is a small, remote airstrip located within the Niokolo-Koba National Park in southeastern Senegal. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of West Africa's most significant wildlife reserves, and the airstrip primarily serves to provide access for park visitors, researchers, and conservation personnel. The facility is a basic bush airstrip with minimal infrastructure, serving light aircraft and charter flights rather than scheduled commercial aviation. It plays a logistical role in supporting ecotourism and park management operations in an area that is otherwise difficult to reach by road.
