One female of German nationality and one female of Swiss nationality sustained injuries and both were airlifted to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, in stable condition, Onyango said, adding that two other men of Swiss and German nationalities escaped unhurt.
The police are investigating the incident, Onyango said.
