The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has rescued a family of four who had gone missing in Tsavo East National Park after a 24-hour search operation.
In a statement on Tuesday, April 8, KWS said the family, a couple and their two children, was spotted by a Tsavo Trust pilot in the remote Yatta Plateau area. "In a dramatic turn of events this morning, Tsavo Trust Pilot spotted the family, a couple and their two children, near Kabaguchi Range Camp on the remote Yatta Plateau, approximately 50 km north of the planned route," the statement said.
The pilot landed and confirmed that the family was unharmed and in good health.
A team from KWS and Tsavo Trust is currently helping to bring them out of the park safely.
