Round 3
Safari Rally Kenya
12 March 2026
Naivasha
Widely regarded as one of the toughest events of the year, Safari Rally Kenya always throws up surprises.
From rough terrain, where a single rock can cause rally-ending damage, to the unpredictable rain that can quickly transform the fine fesh-fesh sand into rivers. The smallest of mistakes can be cruelly punished – there is much more to Kenya than outright speed, and a slow and steady approach can pay dividends. Nothing is ever guaranteed when the WRC is on safari; to finish first, first you have to finish.
2025 summary
We enjoyed our best-ever finish in Kenya in 2025 with a fantastic double podium finish for our team, with Ott and Martin in second and Thierry and Martijn in third.
