Message from Isaiah Kiplagat

This year marks the 47th running of the Safari Rally, an event that has grown over the years into one of the most exciting and unique motor-sporting adventures of all time.

In line with emerging trends in global motorsport, we at Safari Rally Ltd have had to re-organise and, in certain areas, re-format our event to fit in with what is becoming an increasingly professional and commercial sport. This has meant allying ourselves with commercial partners to generate the funds required to put on an event as grand as the Safari. This has not been easy, and will not be easy in the future. But Safari Rally Ltd continues to seek and forge new alliances that will enable it grow and expand its financial base to cope with these increasing demands.

For this year’s rally I am pleased to note that our commercial partners are all Kenyan – and true supporters of our event.

Without these companies, Safari would not be where and what it is. It is thanks to them that the event’s international standing is it what it is today. It remains our earnest hope that these partnerships will continue to the benefit of everyone. And with that, I would like to wish you all an enjoyable and safe Safari.
