At least two people were killed on Monday morning when their small plane crashed in the Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania, said an official.
"It is true a pilot and a passenger have been killed in a plane accident. The plane crashed shortly after it took off from the Seronera airstrip in national park," Paschal Shelutete, the Tanzania National Parks Senior Assistant Conservation Commissioner for Communication told Xinhua on phone from Arusha.
Shelutete said the plane crashed at 7:30 am as it was flying from the Seronera airstrip to the Grumeti Game Reserve located on the Serengeti Plains.
The official said the plane belonged to Auric Air Services Ltd, a small privately owned airline based in Tanzania.
