Getting There

Overland

Karanambu is some 600 miles overland from the capital city of Georgetown; a journey which can take between 12-15 hrs. Sadly most visitors to Karanambu do not have the luxury of time and opt for travel in small planes as a more efficient way to get to the Rupununi.

Flying

A flight from the airport at ogle will get you to the regional centre in Lethem in 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.,from here it is a 2-3 hrs. by 4×4 vehicle to Karanambu (depending on season). Alternatively flights can also be charterer direct to one of the 2 Karanambu runways. This takes about 1 ½ hrs., with the advantage of arriving in time for breakfast or tying in a trip to Kaieture Falls.

River

When travelling from another site in the region, expect a combination of dirt roads and a river trip. The most popular route from locations further north is via Genip Landing – from which it is a 2 hr-3 hr journey along the Rupununi River (depending on the season).

On this route be sure to have sunscreen, a hat and drink lots of water while you enjoy some of the most spectacular views of herons, king fishers and massive black caiman along the way.
