Boniface Mwangi is a lucky man after his family came out unscathed from a bad road accident along the Namanga-Amboseli road at Lorubuko on Sunday.
The human rights activist was traveling with his wife and three children when their car skidded on loose gravel before losing control and flipping over.
Describing the accident as ‘very scary’, Mwangi said that they escaped with minor injuries, thanks to their safety belts.
“We had passed some men grazing, slowed down, said Hello & then drove on, a few minutes later they heard kids screaming. They rushed to the scene and found us shaken but okay.
“When all that very scary experience stopped, all five of us were still belted and in our seats, upside down. Safety belts are lifesavers. Belt up,” wrote Mwangi.
Sharing pictures of the overturned green Toyota Landcruiser, Boniface Mwangi thanked Amboseli Serena Lodge for swiftly responding and sending a vehicle to rescue them.
Boniface also slaughtered a goat at the scene of the accident as a thank you gesture to the Maasai morans who rushed to their rescue.
“Slaughtered a thank you goat for Sakita, Ngaiyai & co who came to our rescue. They found us outside the car and stared in disbelief, and then said Enkai (God) saved you. Told us we go, Maasais are good people and the car will be safe, lions and elephants don’t eat or steal cars.”
