The crash occurred in the
country's Maasai Mara national park, said Sean Culligan, chief
operations officer for Flying Doctors, which is assisting in the
response.
Two Kenyan pilots and two Germans were killed, according to emergency workers.
In Washington, a State Department spokeswoman said Americans also were on the plane.
"We can confirm that four U.S. citizens were injured in a plane crash today in Kenya," Laura Seal said.
"Officials from the U.S.
Embassy in Nairobi are providing appropriate consular assistance. Due to
privacy considerations, we cannot provide further details."
Flying Doctors is a
Nairobi-based charity that evacuates people from medical emergencies in
East Africa and does air ambulance transfers between medical facilities.
