A man was shot dead in Uganda after rescuing a group of UK and New Zealand tourists whose raft had capsized.
Keith Steve Willis was driving the four tourists through Murchison Falls Park en route to a hospital when he was killed by rebels. The tourists, who had been on a rafting holiday from Egypt to the source of the Nile, were taken hostage, robbed and later released.
Willis is understood to have run a safari camp in the national park, which is Uganda’s largest and popular with tourists.
The Ugandan army and Wildlife Authority said it is stepping up patrols in the area.
