Consider making Safari Rally a truly endurance event: Ruto
Quick Glance: The Evolution of Safari Rally in Kenya
  • The Safari Rally was first held in 1953 as the East African Coronation Safari to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's coronation.

  • The rally gained international recognition and became part of the World Rally Championship in 1973, becoming one of the toughest rallies in the world.

  • In Kenya, organizers ensure that the rally is more captivating through rugged terrain, including rough gravel roads, muddy tracks, and river crossings.

  • After a hiatus from the WRC calendar, the Safari Rally made a highly anticipated return in 2021, providing drivers with a unique and demanding challenge amidst Kenya's scenic landscapes.
