Just an hour’s drive south of Nairobi, easily reached by any car, lies Katelembu—a hidden gem in Makueni County that beckons pilots with its evening magic.
This soaring site comes in the evening.
A designated landing field awaits at the end of your flight and there are fields close to reservoir where you can land if you lose lift after takeoff.
Katelembu is a place where the skies stretch endlessly, inviting you to glide, soar, and revel in the beauty of the horizon and sunset!
Katelembu is now a PAK managed site, so no takeoff or landing fees for PAK members!
- Katelembu is an Evening Flying Site, usually safe from 4pm
- It is a flying spot that requires intermediate piloting skills due to the many trees
- Practice a few sleddies to the landing fields close to the reservoir at first, as these fields will be your landing spot in case you lose lift after takeoff
- In any case, good ground handling skills are required for fun takeoffs
Drive to above pin and then turn right into small track and park car 50m at the end.
