A fatal aviation incident occurred when a Let L-410UVP passenger plane crashed at the Ngorte Airstrip in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The aircraft, operating from Mombasa-Moi International Airport (HKMO), was en route to Ukundu, Ambozeli, Mara North, Olkiombo (HKOK), and ultimately back to Mombasa. After takeoff from Ngorte Airstrip, the plane landed at the airstrip with 13 passengers, and subsequently took off with a remaining crew and 11 passengers. A leftward veering occurred, resulting in impact with terrain, approximately 310 meters from the runway end. Two pilots and two passengers perished. Three passengers sustained serious injuries, while the remaining six sustained minor injuries. The fuel control unit of the second engine was contaminated, and the propeller was feathered. Investigation revealed a possible issue with the second engine’s power output during the impact, with the propeller being in feathering conditions. Insufficient oversight was identified regarding the operator’s staffing levels.A fatal aviation incident occurred when a Let L-410UVP passenger plane crashed at the Ngorte Airstrip in the Masai Mara Game Reserve.
