Two days to the long awaited World Rally Championship (WRC) in Naivasha, security has been beefed up with over 1,000 police officers are deployed in the sub-county.

Already tens of motorsport enthusiasts, organizers of the event, government officials and business people started trooping to the town for the event that kicks off on Wednesday to Sunday.


The event will mark the return of Safari Rally that was heralded as one of the toughest rallies on the World Rally Championship (WRC) calendar. The return is after close to a two-decade hiatus.

Hoteliers are busy sprucing their facility, bar owners stocking liquor, health workers checking Covid-19 requirements and security officers patrolling the streets of the lakeside town and its outskirts.

Other than the motor sport event, a series of entertainment parties- all in line with Covid-19 regulations- have been organized to welcome the over 30,000 local and international visitors.
