The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a traffic advisory and proposed alternative routes for motorists to ease the anticipated congestion during the upcoming Safari Rally scheduled to take place from March 12 to March 15, 2026.
In a statement, KeNHA said the advisory is aimed at managing the expected surge in traffic as thousands of fans travel to attend the internationally recognized rally event.
“The Authority hereby issues a traffic advisory and alternative routes to ease anticipated traffic congestion caused by members of the public heading to the Safari Rally event from 12th to 15th March 2026,” said KeNHA Director General Eng. Luka Kimo.
Motorists traveling from Nairobi toward Nakuru and surrounding rally locations have been advised to use designated alternative routes to avoid traffic build-up along the busy highways.
Among the routes recommended by the authority is the Scenic Route, which runs from Nairobi through Rironi, Flyover Magumu, Njambini, and Lanet.
The Adventure Route will pass through Rironi, Naivasha, Engineer, Ol Kalou, Dundori, before connecting to Lanet.
Another option dubbed the Thika Trail will see motorists travel from Nairobi through Thika, Magumu, Ol Kalou, and Dundori before linking up with Lanet.
Motorists may also opt for the Suswa Shortcut, which runs from Nairobi through Ngong, Suswa, Narok, and finally to Nakuru.
KeNHA further warned truck drivers against parking along undesignated areas on the highways, noting that strict enforcement measures will be taken against violators.
“All truck drivers are advised not to park at any undesignated locations on the highway, as violation of this directive shall lead to immediate arrest,” the authority cautioned.
KeNHA assured road users that it will continue working to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow across the country’s highway network during the rally period.
