A four-year-old boy survived in the wilderness for six days before he was rescue.
For close to week, a search party comprising more than 70 combed Tsavo East National Park in Taita Taveta, looking for the boy who got lost while herding livestock with his siblings.
According to Roan Carr-Hartley, a pilot with the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT), a conservancy that deals with elephants, he overflew the search party on the first day he joined the rescue efforts in vain. That was on November 29.
