A defining characteristic of the Safari Rally is its tough terrain, which tests drivers to maneuver through rocky paths, sandy trails, and water crossings, all while withstanding extreme heat. The variable weather contributes to the difficulty, with heavy rainfall frequently impairing visibility and creating slick conditions.

What genuinely distinguishes the Safari Rally is its unique Kenyan essence. It is a unique adventure because of the breathtaking wildlife experiences, which include zebras, giraffes, and elephants. Moreover, the rally has a profound historical heritage, establishing it as a beloved occasion for motorsport fans.

The Safari Rally will host other classes, such as WRC2, a support series with Rally2 cars for manufacturer-supported drivers and privateers hoping to make it to WRC. Other classes are WRC3 (for occasional drivers), Junior WRC (for drivers who are under the age of 29), and WRC Masters Cup (for drivers who are over the age of 50).

The winner of the Safari Rally is determined by who gathers the fastest cumulative time throughout all timed stages. The competitors navigate through a range of special stages, crossing Kenya’s demanding landscape in an effort to achieve the shortest total time.Any infractions, such as false starts, not checking in at checkpoints, or obtaining unapproved technological support, may increase a competitor’s time and impact their final ranking.
