Three people escaped unhurt on Monday morning after a private aircraft experienced a landing gear malfunction and veered off the runway while landing at Olkiombo Airstrip in the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
According to a police report, the aircraft registration number 5Y-XCB had departed from Nairobi and was attempting to land at the airstrip at about 10 am when its nose landing gear failed to lock down.
The pilot, Captain Mark Ross, quickly switched off the engine after the plane touched down and veered to the right side of the runway.
The aircraft eventually came to a stop about 50 meters from the runway.
