Naivasha, Kenya – A tragic plane crash at Kedong Ranch in Naivasha has claimed the lives of a couple aboard a Cessna 185 aircraft.
The light aircraft, which had departed from Wilson Airport en route to Mbaruk, went down on Thursday, January 30, 2025, at approximately 5:14 PM.
Rescue efforts were hindered by difficult terrain and unfavorable weather conditions, delaying emergency response teams from reaching the crash site in time.
Authorities, including the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the accident.
This tragedy comes just weeks after a similar aircraft crash in Malindi earlier in January, raising concerns over aviation safety in the country.
