A Safari Express Cargo Fokker F27 Friendship (5Y SXP) flying a cargo flight from Mwanza to Nairobi lost height in cruise and disappeared from radar after passing FL146 at high speed. The aircraft crashed in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania on 31 August 2014, and the wreckage was found the next morning. All three crew were killed, and the cause could not be determined because the cockpit voice recorder was too damaged to read.
