🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Mahdia town centre → Mabura Hill junction
💡 Shared taxis fill quickly in the morning. Sit in the back of a Toyota Hilux—safer on gravel. Book a seat through Nemiah Home's reception to avoid waiting.
Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO) → Amanda's Home Mahdia
💡 Agree the fare before you get in. The road to Mahdia is unpaved after Bartica, so expect a rough, 4-hour ride. Ask for a 4x4, not a saloon car.
Ogle Aerodrome (OGL) → Amanda's Home Mahdia
💡 Ogle is closer to Georgetown than Cheddi Jagan. Many flights from Ogle to Mahdia run small planes, but if you prefer road travel, the driver will pick you up at the small terminal. Negotiate a round trip price.
Anywhere in Mahdia → Nemiah Home / nearby villages
💡 Motorbike taxis are common after sunset when buses stop. Always agree the fare upfront. For short runs to the town's shops or the Potaro River trail, they're faster than walking. Watch for loose gravel.
Stabroek Market bus park, Georgetown → Mahdia bus stop (near police station)
💡 Minibuses leave when full. Get there by 4:30am to secure a seat. The last stretch is dirt road; bring a cushion and a dust mask. From the Mahdia stop, it's a 5-minute walk to Amanda's.
Cheddi Jagan International Airport (Georgetown) → Nemiah Home / Mahdia town centre
💡 Negotiate from the airport arrivals hall. Drivers often quote 30000 GYD, but 25000 is fair if you've booked through Nemiah Home. The road is paved to Mabura Hill, then gravel—expect a bumpy final 90 minutes.
Stabroek Market Square, Georgetown → Mabura Hill junction (2 km before Mahdia turnoff)
💡 Get off at Mabura Hill, not the main road—you'll save walking. From there, flag a shared taxi or hire a motorbike for 1000 GYD to Nemiah Home. Buses can be overcrowded; go early for a seat.
Mahdia airstrip → Amanda's Home Mahdia
💡 If you fly from Ogle Airport (most common), the shared taxi or minibus meets the plane. Pay in Guyanese dollars, exact change helps.
