RULES

THE SPIRIT OF THE RALLY

  • The  Zimbabwe  Safari  Rally is a celebration of  Zimbabwean's adventurous spirit!  It is  NOT  A  RACE,  however, it is a challenge!

  • The rally is a closed event due to the limited availability of bednights.  Only participants with valid rally entry tickets are allowed to participate in the rally.  Regrettably, no  children under 18 years  old 

  • It is an all-inclusive environment with people from all over the world partaking in an epic adventure! 

  • Have  as much fun as possible  and take  the  road less  traveled. We are  there  to  get you  through and help  you when needed 

  • Meet amazing people from all walks of life with one common goal in mind,  just get to  the finish line and take up a challenge.
