KWS closes Hell's Gate Gorge over flash flood risks

The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) will close the Hell's Gate Gorge tourist attraction site in Naivasha throughout the El Niño rainy season. This follows previous incidents in which tourists lost their lives after being caught in flash floods. Speaking at Hell's Gate National Park, Senior Warden Nelson Cheruiyot said the closure is a precautionary measure aimed at preventing further loss of life, as heavy rains increase the risk of flash floods in the gorge.
