Comprehensive security, traffic management and public safety measures have been put in place ahead of the upcoming Safari Rally Kenya scheduled to take place from 12th to 15th March, 2026 in Naivasha and surrounding areas.
The Government, through the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, has activated a multi-agency coordination framework to ensure the safety and security of rally drivers, teams, spectators and residents during the globally renowned event on the World Rally Championship calendar.
The security arrangement involves several government institutions, including the National Police Service, National Government Administration Officers, National Transport and Safety Authority and the Kenya National Highways Authority, working closely with county authorities and rally organizers to facilitate smooth operations throughout the event period.
More than 1,000 police officers drawn from various formations will be deployed across rally routes, spectator zones and key access roads to maintain security, manage crowds and support traffic control operations.
Motorists and members of the public are advised that temporary traffic management measures and road diversions will be implemented along designated rally routes and surrounding access corridors during the competition period.
Motorists travelling along the Nairobi-Naivasha highway corridor without business in Naivasha are encouraged to consider alternative routes to ease congestion, including the Nairobi-Limuru-Flyover-Njabini-Ol Kalou-Ndondori-Lanet-Nakuru route and the Nairobi-Mai Mahiu-Narok-Nakuru-Western Kenya route.
Spectators attending the rally are advised to observe the competition only from designated spectator zones, follow safety instructions issued by security officers and event marshals, and avoid accessing restricted rally tracks or operational areas.
The Government calls upon rally fans, residents and visitors to cooperate with security officers and rally officials, adhere to traffic guidelines and observe safety instructions to ensure the successful and safe hosting of Safari Rally Kenya.
