Safari Rally Kenya is a motorsport adventure like no other. Known as one of the toughest and most unpredictable events on the calendar, it challenges drivers with rough terrain, deep ruts, and the ever-present threat of sudden rainfall. Set in the heart of Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes, the rally blends modern WRC competition with the spirit of classic endurance events.
Located in Nairobi, this dual-lane, head-to-head stage at Kasarani Stadium will run in reverse direction compared to previous years. Two cars will race side by side on the compact, mixed-surface track, setting the tone for the rally in front of thousands of spectators.
A brand-new stage set in the Morendat Farm vineyards, Mzabibu is designed with fans in mind, offering great viewing points just 10km from Naivasha town. This tight, technical test on mixed surfaces will challenge drivers as they push through the winding farm roads.
A new addition for 2025, Camp Moran is a classic Safari Rally test, combining narrow, technical tracks, fast dips, jumps, and rocky outcrops. Running along the cliffs of the Great Rift Valley, this stage demands precision and endurance, with shifting road surfaces and little room for error.
This familiar stage now runs in reverse compared to previous years. The route cuts through lush green landscapes before transitioning into fast, rolling plains. The twisty nature of Loldia rewards technical driving, while the new direction presents fresh challenges.
A short but high-speed blast through the Olkaria Geothermal fields, this stage retains the same direction as 2024 but with a new start location on Tarmac for better traction. Expect a mix of fast straights, sweeping bends, and tight technical corners.
Although shortened for 2025, Kedong still retains its famous Miti Mbili jump and sections of deep fesh-fesh sand that will test both car reliability and driver stamina. The reversed route adds a fresh challenge to this fan-favorite stage.
