The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has listed four alternative routes for motorists to avoid being stuck in a traffic snarl-up during the 2025 World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally.
The event which is set to be hosted in Naivasha, Nakuru County kicks off on Thursday, March 20 and will run until Sunday, March 23, 2025.
“The World Rally Championship is zooming into town bringing excitement and high-speed action to our roads. To keep you moving smoothly, we have mapped out alternative routes to help you avoid traffic congestion,” KeNHA stated.
The Authority advised motorists to use the Nairobi- Rironi- Flyover (Magumu)- Njabini- Ol Kalou- Dundori-Lanet route to reach Naivasha.
Motorists can also use the adventurous Nairobi- Rironi- Naivasha- Engineer- Ol Kalou- Dundori- Lanet route or the Nairobi- Thika-Magumu-Ol Kalou- Dundori- Lanet trail.
