The family of four that went missing in Tsavo East National Park has been found.
A family spokesperson Erin told the Star that the missing family members were found.
"They have been found and we would divulge information later," she said.
The Kenya wildlife Service in a statement confirmed that they had successfully located and rescued the four who went missing in Tsavo following an intensive 24-hour search operation.
“In a dramatic turn of events this morning, Tsavo Trust pilot Nick Haller spotted the family - a couple and their two children - near Kabaguchil Ranger Camp on the remote Yatta Plateau, approximately 50 kilometres north of their planned route,” KWS said.
KWS said Haller immediately landed his helicopter and confirmed that all the four individuals were unharmed and in good health.
“Ground teams from KWS and Tsavo Trust are currently facilitating their safe extraction,” they said.
According to KWS, Preliminary reports indicate the family's vehicle became immobile during an unauthorised deviation from their planned route while on a game drive.
“Their decision to remain with the vehicle played a critical role in their timely rescue,” KWS said.
“The family is currently undergoing routine medical evaluations and will soon be reunited with their loved ones.”
KWS is expected to give a full debriefing on the incident.
A large-scale search and rescue mission was deployed after the four went missing during a weekend camping trip.
The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) deployed a combination of ground and aerial resources, including two fixed-wing aircraft, a helicopter, and three Land Cruiser units, in a race against time to locate the missing couple and their two children.
According to a statement from KWS, the family entered the park on Saturday through Manyani Gate and were scheduled to spend two nights at the remote Luggards Falls Special Campsite.
They were expected to exit the park via Sala Gate by Monday, but concerns were raised when there was no sign of their departure by 8:00 PM.
