KQ- EAST AFRICAN SAFARI CLASSIC RALLY
A
SPORTING SAFARI
This tour is planned
for you to experience the both wilds of Africa in Kenya and Tanzania and
at the same time to see the action during the
KQ East African Safari
Classic Rally 2009.
The KQ Safari Classic
is a revival of the famous East African Safari Rally using similar routes
as used in the past and an unusual sporting spectacle born of our exotic
cultural heritage pitting man and woman in their battle for survival against
the rough African motorsport terrain.
One driver described
the 2007 KQ Safari Classic event as "I can't believe we've finished.
It's the most outrageous rally in the world: the longest and the toughest............a
must see event and the country side is spectacular."
