A small aircraft traveling from Kenya’s coastal resort of Diani to the Maasai Mara National Park crashed early Tuesday, killing all 11 people on board.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) said the plane, operated by Mombasa Air Safari, went down around 5:30 a.m. local time (02:30 GMT) while en route to Kichwa Tembo airstrip.
Mombasa Air Safari said the plane was carrying eight Hungarians, two Germans and a Kenyan pilot, all of whom had been killed in the crash.
Kwale County Commissioner Stephen Orinde said the crash occurred about 10 kilometers from Kwale town, adding that bad weather may have been a factor.
Images shared by local media showed the aircraft in flames, with debris scattered across the crash site.
Authorities said investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the crash.
