African Safari Rally. It gained international recognition from 1965 onwards and in 1973 was included into
the World Championship for Rallies, which replaced the International Championship for makes.
As from 1974 the event ran only in Kenya with borders closing after the collapse of the East African

as a round of the FIA World Rally Championship until 2002 when the FIA dropped the event.

Event Overview
KCB Safari Rally is an exciting and dynamic way to showcase Kenya’s beautiful and richly varied
landscape. We would not be able to organize the rally without strong support from the Sponsors and
Government of Kenya, and we are indebted to our title sponsors, co-sponsors and Ministry of Gender and
Sports, whose support and assistance makes this event possible.
Rallies around the world depend upon the support and enthusiasm of volunteers, and the KCB Safari
Rally is no different. We owe a debt of thanks to all the volunteer marshals whose hard work and
enthusiasm we depend upon to run a safe, smooth and friendly rally.
The KCB Safari Rally will take place from 11th – 14th September 2014 in and around Nairobi.The total
distance will be 720 km of which 250 km will be Special Stages. Kenya terrain lends itself to world-class
rallying and we have been able to put together an improved itinerary once again, which offers variety to
the FIA African Rally Championship.
This year’s stages are retained the best stages from previous rallies, but wherever possible we have sought
to improve each stage for this year’s rally.

NANYUKI
Nanyuki Town gets its name
from the Masai phrase ‘Engare
Nayuikie’ which means ‘The
River of Blood’. Nanyuki
connects Mt. Kenya in the
south east and the great rift
valley in the west, and is also
known as ‘Kenya’s High
Country’ since it lies along the
equator at 1947m above sea
level. Nanyuki has grown
tremendously since the colonial
days and is now a center for
farms, ranches, game parks and
conservancies. It is also the
main base for the Kenya Air
Force and also a training area
for the British Army. With this
kind of growth has been the
growth of different tourist
attractions and accommodation
options ranging from hotels,
camps, lodges and ranch houses.
Things to do in and around Nanyuki/ Tourist Attractions
The biggest activity in Nanyuki would be taking a game drive around the many conservancies and game
parks within its vicinity. These include:
The Ol Pajeta Conservancy-; The Ol Pajeta Conservancy is a 90,000 acre private conservancy located
between the foothills of the Aberdares and Mt. Kenya, a three hour drive from Nairobi and 14KM before
Nanyuki town. The Ol Pajeta is home to all the big five and also boasts the largest black rhino sanctuary
in the country.
Lewa Conservancy (Lewa Downs) - The Lewa Conservancy is spread over 55,000acres, 65KM North of
Nanyuki. Lewa dedicates itself to the conservation of the black rhino. Also in residence are 55 white
rhinos. Other activities to be done at Lewa include game drives, bush walks, bird watching,
sundowners, educational tours and bush meals. Others are the Sweetwaters Game Reserve, Solio Ranch,
Aberdare National Park, Mt. Kenya National Park and the Samburu National Park.

assignees or dependants, any claim or claims which he/she might, save for this waiver, have against the
promoters, organizers of beneficiaries or the owner/lessor of the property, in respect of any injuries or
damage, however arising which he/she may suffer while attending this rally meeting. ! A Spectators
