Leaders Welcome Kenyans
President William Ruto has invited Kenyans to embrace the rally spirit:
“This weekend is that weekend we have been longing and waiting for. Safari Rally is not just a race, it is who we are. Come experience wonder. Tuonane Safari Rally. Tukutane Vasha.”
Wildlife and Tourism Cabinet Secretary (CS) Rebecca Miano highlights Kenya’s legendary terrain:
Since 1953, the country’s gravel tracks have tested the world’s toughest drivers—from the sands of Kedong to the rocky climbs of Sleeping Warrior. She affirms that no other nation replicates this challenge.
Miano adds:
“Beyond the dust, the Safari Rally is a multi-billion shilling engine. It drives 100% hotel occupancy in Nakuru County, supports thousands of local MSMEs, and showcases our Origin of Wonder to over 80 million global viewers. It is a masterclass of how international sports and conservation can coexist. Magical Kenya remains the heart of this global spectacle. See you in Vasha.”
