The importance of animal control cannot be stressed enough. Three weeks ago, a man was killed by a lion that strayed from the Nairobi National Park. The head of communications at KWS has promised that animal control teams have been mobilized to monitor elephant movement in the area.

The death toll at Hell’s Gate National park is currently at 6 following the Sunday evening flash floods. The Corporate Communication Director of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Paul Udoto confirmed this on Monday morning when he announced that a search party had started the rescue mission.

“Six bodies have so far been recovered. One person among those missing is yet to be found,” said Director Paul Udoto.

The mega search party consisting of officers from the KWS recovered two bodies on Sunday night. The other four were sighted and recovered by the party on Monday Morning. Efforts are still ongoing to recover any more victims.

The Hell’s Gate National Park which lies South of Lake Naivasha usually experiences flooding because of the gorges that lie downhill. The specific gorge that flooded is the prehistoric Ol-Jorowa gorge. It has been closed indefinitely in the wake of this tragic accident. Due to this unfortunate incident, Kenyans are now burdened with having to be afraid of the unknown when touring anywhere.
