A two-week fire that has ravaged over 40, 000 acres of the Aberdare National Park could be contained in the next two days, Kenya Wildlife Service assistant director of Mountain Conservation Bakari Mungumi says.

Speaking after an aerial view inspection of the moorlands, Mr Bakari said since the Aberdare is one of the main water towers in the country, the effects of the fire could be felt in the next few months with water levels are expected to decline.
