Kamarang is an Amerindian community situated on the confluence of the Kamarang and Mazaruni rivers. These days the community of around 700 people serves as a key trading post for the Middle Mazaruni, which comprises about ten villages peopled mostly by Arecuna and Akawaio Indians. Kamarang is one of two villages that enjoy scheduled flights from Ogle on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The other is Imbaimadai. Gold has accounted for this. Coastlanders have found their way to Kamarang working either as miners or shopkeepers.
For all its economic significance, Kamarang remains a relatively threadbare community. It has a police station, a cottage hospital, a post office, an airstrip, a guest house, bars and an administrative office. For all the gold that is mined there, Kamarang, the community, like other gold-mining communities in Guyana, runs the risk of being stripped of its resources
