STORYLINE:
Some of the remains of three generations of an American family and two South African pilots killed when their chartered plane crashed into Mount Kenya were brought to Nairobi on Wednesday for identification.
Nine body bags containing victims of the crash were taken to a morgue in the city.
Twelve Americans and two South Africans were killed in the accident just after sunset on Saturday night.
Efforts to recover the remains had been hampered by bad weather, and resumed on Tuesday after skies cleared.
The twin-engine South African-registered Fairchild turboprop is believed to have hit Point Lenana as a cloudy sky cleared on Saturday afternoon.
However, there are conflicting reports of the time of the crash and no clear indication of the cause.
A Kenyan official has speculated that bad weather was the cause.
One investigator each from the United States National Transportation Safety Board and the US Federal Aviation Administration are to arrive at the crash site later on Tuesday at the request of the Kenyan government.
Kenya's Civil Aviation Authority is the body that investigates plane crashes.
Those killed in the crash were: Dr. George W. Brumley, 68; his wife, Jean, 67; three of their children, George III, 42, daughters Lois, 39, and Elizabeth, 41; George's wife Julia, 42, and two children, George IV, 14, and Jordan, 12; Lois' husband Richard Morrell, 43, and their son, Alex, 11, and Beth's husband William Love, 41, and their daughter, Sarah, 12.
Family members who weren't on the trip include the Brumleys' adult twin daughters, their children and five young orphaned grandchildren - two in Atlanta and three who stayed behind in South Africa with a governess.
Mount Kenya, an extinct volcano, has three peaks: Batian at 17,157 feet (5,147 metres); Nelion at 17,120 feet (5,136 metres); and Point Lenana at 16,450 feet (4,935 metres).
George W. Brumley originally planned to take a commercial flight to Nairobi but decided against flying straight to Kenya because of a US State Department travel advisory about terrorism in the East African country.
Instead, he hired the South African charter company, according to Iain Allan, managing director of Tropical Ice, a Nairobi-based safari company that organised the trip.
Allan said the family had intended to stay at a private ranch in north central Kenya and visit a number of the country's national parks.
Brumley met Allan two years ago while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in neighboring Tanzania, a safari also organised by Tropical Ice.
