Southern Californian Kimberley Endicott and guide Jean-Paul Mirenge were released unharmed after a ransom was paid.

President Donald Trump has tweeted his delight at the rescue of 56-year-old Kimberly Endicott who was taken by gunmen in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth Park bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The kidnappers demanded a half-a-million dollar ransom. It is not clear whether this is the amount they received.

The US State Department has advised American citizens to avoid the park.

Endicott and Mirenge were recovered in the DRC.

Their abductors are still at large, despite a manhunt by Ugandan military, police and wildlife authorities.
