Safari Rally 2026 is expected to take place in June 2026, following the recent scheduling pattern used by the World Rally Championship (WRC). Although the official WRC calendar for 2026 has not yet been released, Kenya’s iconic Safari Rally traditionally appears in late June, aligning with school holidays and favourable weather in the Rift Valley region.
In the past few seasons, Nakuru and Naivasha have hosted the rally’s key stages, including Kedong, Soysambu, Oserian, and Sleeping Warrior. These locations offer challenging terrain, dramatic dust clouds, and rugged volcanic landscapes that have helped maintain the event’s reputation as the “world’s toughest rally.” The 2026 edition is expected to follow a similar route, with spectator zones set up across Naivasha for safe viewing.
June also provides relatively dry conditions, making it predictable for both competitors and fans. The Safari Rally continues to draw thousands of local and international spectators who combine motorsport excitement with wildlife tourism in nearby destinations such as Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate National Park, and Lake Nakuru National Park.
Travellers planning to attend Safari Rally 2026 can turn the event into a complete Kenyan adventure by extending their trip to the Masai Mara, Amboseli, or Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Enjoy seamless planning with Campo EA Safaris’ Lake Nakuru & Naivasha Safari, which places you near the heart of the rally action while delivering unforgettable wildlife experiences.
