Kaieteur Falls
Kaieteur Falls drops 226 metres (741 ft) in a single fall, and the national park around it was created in 1929, according to the Protected Areas Trust.

How we run our Guyana tours
Our office has been in Georgetown since 1994, at 141 Fourth Street, Campbellville. Our own team arranges the lodges, transport, flights and guides for our tours in Guyana, so you deal with one company from your first enquiry to your final airport transfer.
We also design private itineraries around your dates and interests, such as wildlife, birding, waterfalls, Indigenous communities or local food. Contact us to start.
Kaieteur flights use light aircraft from Ogle Airport, so you declare your weight when you book. Weather can delay flights into the interior.
When to go
According to Visit Rupununi, the coast around Georgetown has two rainy seasons, May to mid-August and late November to January, and two dry seasons, February to April and mid-August to early November. In the Rupununi the rains run from May to mid-August and the rest of the year is dry. Visit Rupununi recommends September to April for the Rupununi, when animals gather near rivers and ponds.
Kaieteur Falls carries the most water in the rainy season, from May to August. The drier months usually bring clearer skies for the flight.
