A search is under way for a Mozambique Airlines (LAM) plane which is feared to have crashed in Namibia with 28 passengers and six crew on board.
Rescuers have been sent to the Bwabwata National Park in the north-east of the country - between Angola and Botswana.
Flight TM470 left Mozambique's capital, Maputo, at 11:26 (09:26 GMT) on Friday and was due to arrive in the Angolan capital, Luanda, at 14:10.
The last contact made with the plane was when it was over northern Namibia.
The nationalities of those on board have not been confirmed.
Initially, the airline said there were signs it might have landed near Rundu.
"LAM airlines, aeronautical and airport authorities are trying to establish contact to confirm the information," said the airline.
On Saturday, a police official involved with the search said villagers in the area had heard an explosion.
"Botswana officials informed us that they saw smoke in the air and they thought the crash happened in their country, but when they came to the border they realised that it was in Namibia," Willie Bampton said.
He said the plane had not landed in the Rundu region.
The Bwabwata National Park in Namibia's Kavango East region - covering around 6,100sq km (2,355 square miles) - is a sparsely-populated area of dense forests.
"The area is vast, and there are no roads and the park is bushy. So, it is very difficult to locate the scene," Mr Bampton said.
