Authorities on Friday continued to search for an Orange County woman and her driver who were kidnapped at gunpoint by a group of men who ambushed them this week in a national park in Uganda.

Kimberly Sue Endicott, 56, an esthetician from Costa Mesa, was traveling in a car on an evening game drive with a Ugandan guide and two other tourists in Queen Elizabeth National Park on Tuesday when four men held them at gunpoint. The other tourists — an elderly couple — managed to escape, but the gunmen took Endicott and the driver, said Uganda deputy police spokeswoman Polly Namaye.
