WRC Safari Rally Kenya
The world's most spectacular rally — Formula 1 cars on African bush tracks
The WRC Safari Rally Kenya is one of the most spectacular motorsport events in the world — a round of the FIA World Rally Championship held every June in the Kenyan bush, on some of the most challenging and dramatic rally stages in the world. The Safari Rally was one of the original rounds of the WRC from 1973 to 2002, and returned to the calendar in 2021 after a 19-year absence. The stages run through the Kenyan bush near Naivasha, with wildlife — including elephants, zebras, and giraffes — frequently visible from the roadside. The combination of the extraordinary natural setting, the dramatic stages, and the extraordinary atmosphere of the Kenyan bush makes the Safari Rally one of the most memorable events in motorsport.
