The Conservancy straddles along Isiolo and Laikipia Counties and is managed by Northern Rangeland Trust (NRT) which is under the world famous Lewa Downs Wildlife Conservancy. Security personnel were tight-lipped but residents living around the conservancy reported that a fighter jet caught fire while in the air and the pilot parachuted out. The man said there were two jets flying in the area prior to the air crash. The pilot who is reportedly ‘slightly injured’ was taken away by his colleagues who arrived by a helicopter.
