The four Americans were visiting the Central Island National Park when the accident occurred.
Four Americans have been killed after a helicopter crashed on a remote island in a Kenyan national park on Sunday.
Kenya’s National Police Service posted a series of statements on Twitter that explained: “Available information indicates that two helicopters had landed earlier at Labolo tented Camp on the National Park’s Island, however one managed to clear the area safely. Security teams are on the scene to assist in the recovery efforts.”
Capital FM Kenya also noted that the search and rescue operation stretched overnight, and that the wreckage and victims were not discovered until around 4 a.m. local time. The island’s remote location and the size of the lake mean that most visitors travel to the national park by air, the Times explained.
