About WRC Safari Rally Kenya 2026
The WRC Safari Rally Kenya runs June 25-28, 2026, based around Naivasha and the Rift Valley. Renowned as one of the most demanding rounds of the World Rally Championship, the event features:
- Punishing gravel stages through the Kenyan bush
- The famous Hell's Gate and Soysambu stages
- International WRC teams and drivers
- Service park activities and fan zones in Naivasha town
- Shakedown and ceremonial start events in Nairobi
Fans travel from around the world for the atmosphere, the noise, and the unmistakable thrill of watching rally cars power through landscapes shared with zebra, giraffe, and flamingo-lined lakes.
Why AfriBay Adventures is the Right Partner for Rally Fans
AfriBay Adventures is Kenya's leading safari company, and Naivasha's proximity to some of the country's best wildlife viewing makes us the natural partner for rally weekend logistics.
Chauffeured Executive Cars
Chauffeur-driven vehicles handle your Nairobi-Naivasha transfers, service park shuttles, and stage-viewing logistics, with drivers who know the best vantage points and how to avoid rally-weekend traffic.
Day Safaris
Between rally stages, a half-day Lake Naivasha boat safari or a Hell's Gate walking safari offers a completely different kind of adrenaline — hippos, giraffe, and towering gorges just minutes from the service park.
Full Itinerary Planning
AfriBay Adventures plans your entire rally weekend — hotel bookings, stage-viewing logistics, service park access, and safari extensions — so you never miss a stage or a sighting.
