Seven bodies have been recovered after a tour group was swept away by a flash flood in a Kenyan national park.

The incident at Hell’s Gate National Park on Sunday involved five Kenyan nationals, a local tour guide and a “foreigner”, officials said.

All of the missing have been found and the search and rescue operation has been called off.

The park, which is about 100km (60 miles) north-west of the capital, Nairobi, remains closed.

The seven dead were part of a 13-strong group that was visiting the park, AFP news agency reports.

The group became trapped in one of the gorges when flash flooding swept through the area.
