What happened
An aircraft departed from Nairobi-Wilson Airport and proceeded on a routine flight to Kichwa Tembo Airport. The flight proceeded without incident until the arrival phase, during which the crew performed a landing on a gravel runway.
Immediately following touchdown, the aircraft struck two wildebeests on the runway. The force of the impact caused the left main landing gear to be severed from the airframe. Following the collision, the aircraft drifted off the left side of the runway before coming to a complete stop.
Findings
There were no fatalities or injuries among the occupants, all of whom were able to evacuate the aircraft safely. While the crew escaped unharmed, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss. The collision resulted in the deaths of both animals involved in the impact.
