Preparations for the 2019 Safaricom EA Safari Classic Rally are in the final stages, with the route stages deemed passable after a thorough inspection.
According to Pipi Renu, the General Manager of the East African Safari Rally Limited, the team has been working tirelessly to ensure that the stages are ready for the rally.
“At the end of September, we took our team of route openers as well as stage commanders to familiarise them with the stages, which will run in Kenya,” Renu said.
Despite the extreme rain during the recce, Renu expressed relief that the stages are all passable, and that the security team has identified critical areas that will need control with 155 marshals in Kenya.
The team will now proceed to Tanzania to complete the same inspection.
