The WRC Koroga Festival' To Spice Up Safari Fan Experience

The 30th edition of The Koroga Festival will be a unique and captivating experience.

It will be the first ever recreational village where rally fans will be engaged, fed and entertained for 4 days during the running of the WRC Safari Rally Kenya in the lakeside town of Naivasha.

The Festival is scheduled from June 23 to June 26, at The Garden on Moi South Lake Road in Naivasha and will bring together the country’s best DJ’s and artists who will showcase the splendor of the iconic Safari on a totally different level.

As part of sports tourism, the Festival will create a chance for all participants and fans to mingle and celebrate together during the second running of the WRC Safari Rally return to Africa after a 19-year hiatus.  

The Koroga Festival is aptly named after the Swahili word meaning “mix,” and is a great reflection of Kenya’s  brilliant and diverse local talent.

The return of the WRC Safari last year attracted thousands of spectators with hotel bookings in the lakeside region recording an unprecedented sellout.
