Malik said that participating in this year’s Safari Rally is a dream come true for her
Carl Tundo is the only driver in this year's Safari Rally who has experienced the World Rally Championship of the old, the African championship and now re-birth of a modern day sprint Safari Rally Rally.
He made his Safari debut in 1995, and surprisingly finished 10th overall navigated by Mathew Buckhurst in a second-hand Subaru Impreza which had done the Safari and entire Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC) the previous year.
