The National Police Service is rolling out the big guns to secure the WRC Safari Rally 2025, set to roar through Naivasha from March 20-23.
With over 100,000 visitors expected and 120 million eyeballs glued to screens across 170 countries, Kenya’s toughest motorsport showdown is back—and the cops are promising it’ll run like clockwork.
This isn’t just a race; it’s a global spotlight on Kenya’s wild landscapes, epic wildlife, and warm vibes. “It’s the ultimate endurance test, blending rally thrills with our unmatched beauty,” gushed a rally insider. With 50+ international TV channels airing the dust and drama, the tourism and hospitality sectors are set for a massive boost.
Extra traffic officers are hitting the roads to keep things moving, teaming up with the National Transport and Safety Authority for safety checks. “With long rains kicking in, we’re begging drivers and pedestrians to stay sharp—follow the rules or pay the price,” a police spokesperson warned. Bus and lorry drivers clogging Naivasha-Nakuru Road? “Park smart or get towed,” they added.
Rally fans got a stern memo too: stick to the organizers’ and cops’ orders—reroute, reschedule, whatever it takes. “We’re here to protect, not play,” the NPS declared, urging folks to report crime via 999, 911, 112, or #FichuakwaDCI 0800 722 203.
