Kenya's Safari Rally is set to return next year, with Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed hinting that the event will attract a large number of international entries.
Speaking to wrc.com in Finland, Amina said the positive response to this year's event, which was held in Naivasha in June, has prompted local organisers to start planning for a bigger and better event in 2022.
"We have had great responses from Kenyans and the international community at large from the Safari Rally we held in June," Amina said.
"These are clear indicators that we should expect a swell in entries and crowd in the next edition," she added.
Amina also hinted that next year's competition in Kenya will be held at the same time as this year's event, meaning international drivers can expect favourable weather conditions associated with the month of June.
She said the championships will have better coordination and management as the organisers have gone through the rigorous drill and are now perfect with their logistics.
Published on October 8, 2021, the Safari Rally is part of Kenya's heritage, and Amina said everyone was waiting for the rally to get back to Kenya.
