October 28, 2025: A plane crash near Kenya’s coast has killed 10 European tourists and a local pilot, officials have said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aircraft was flying from the popular beach resort of Diani to an airstrip in the world-famous Maasai Mara game park when it went down at 05:30 local time (02:30 GMT), the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our primary focus right now is on providing all possible support to the families affected,” it added in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local media have published images of the plane in flames, with debris scattered at the site of the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kwale County Commissioner Stephen Orinde told the BBC that the plane crashed about 10km (six miles) from Kwale town after flying out of Diani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was on its way to Kichwa Tembo, an airstrip in Maasai Mara, popular with holidaymakers because of its wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The passengers were all tourists,” Orinde said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that investigations into the cause of the crash were ongoing but suggested it could have been due to bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The weather is not very good here at the moment. Since early in the morning, it is raining and it is very misty, but we cannot preempt [the findings],” Orinde said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In August, a light aircraft belonging to the medical charity Amref crashed on the outskirts of the capital, Nairobi, killing six people and injuring two others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
