The number of visitors to the Hell's Gate National Park in Naivasha has dropped by 30 per cent in the last four months. The drop has been attributed to the closure of a popular gorge following the deaths, by flash floods, of seven people four months ago. The Kenya Wildlife Services is however optimistic that this will change once all the safety measures are put in place and the gorge reopened early next year. Senchu said that the community fully supported the ongoing safety measures being put in place because the deaths of the seven had left them shaken. The accident came seven years after a similar incident left seven youths from PCEA Nairobi dead.
