Kailesh Chauhan powers his Ford Escort past the ‘Sleeping Warrior’ in Naivasha during the 2021 Equator Rally. ‘Sleeping Warrior’ will be a conspicuous backdrop on Camp Moran stage of this year’s WRC Safari Rally.
The old Sleeping Warrior stage not far from Camp Moran will host Saturday’s stages of Sleeping Warrior, Elementaita and Soysambu.
Mbirua said they have other lined up activities besides food, drinks like hiking and quad bikes riding.
The “Sleeping Warrior” will be re-awakened from his slumber by rumbling sound of rally car engines and foot-thumping of spectators in their thousands on Wednesday and Friday next week in the show-stopper Camp Moran competitive stage, the longest, and easily most spectator-friendly and tele-visually attractive stage of the 2025 WRC Safari Rally.
The Clerk-of-Course George Mwangi led a high-powered delegation of top officials who included his deputies George Gathurima, Nazir Yakub and Chief Scrutineer Musa Locho and Mahesh Saleh and Jagjeet Patter, the Clerk-of-Course of the KNRC category in an inspection tour of the Camp Moran stage where the shakedown on Wednesday and Friday’s first stage will run.
