Six people have died and another is missing after a tour group was swept away by a flash flood during heavy rains in a Kenyan national park.
The Kenya Wildlife Service said the incident at Hell’s Gate National Park involved five Kenyan nationals, a local tour guide and a ‘foreigner’.
The missing and dead were part of a 12-strong group that were visiting Hells Gate, about 60 miles north-west of the capital Nairobi.
A survivor from the group alerted park rangers and a search party and helicopter were dispatched to the scene.
The missing person is presumed dead.
"Six bodies of the flash flood victims have been recovered, leaving one tourist missing," KWS said in a tweet on Monday.
"The search and rescue operation continues as we reach out to next of kin to share details of the sad incident and plan together next course of action."
