A source at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) told the Nation that the two choppers were taking the tourists to the Central Island.
"They were unable to land because that place is very hilly. We don't know why they were trying to access the island at night. One of the helicopters crashed as they attempted to find their way back to Lobolo,"

Central Island is made up of three active volcanoes that belch sulphurous smoke and steam
