What you need to know:

  • Accustomed to a lull town, the “noisy” rally cars and the hovering choppers that are mostly landing at the Service Park have brought a new oomph to the town
  • Meanwhile, more than 3,000 traders made their way to the Kedong spectators stage to sell their wares in anticipation of making quick money


Helicopters circling under the clear blues skies and rally cars blowing dust in the wild is a thrill-a-minute affair within Naivasha.

Those who have made it to the spectator’s stages at Kedong have a story to tell.
