Toyota by CFAO has reaffirmed its commitment to Kenyan motorsport by pumping Kshs. 33 million in the 2025 WRC Safari Rally, set to take place in Naivasha next month.
This marks the fifth consecutive year that CFAO Mobility Kenya has supported the rally as the official transport partner, strengthening Toyota’s legacy in one of the most demanding and prestigious events in global motorsport.
The sponsorship includes the provision of one Toyota GR Hilux Pick-up that will be used as a double zero “00” route opener.
Additionally, Toyota will also provide a Hilux Mild Hybrid Pick-up that will be used as the zero “0” car on selected stages, which is aligned to Toyota’s carbon neutrality agenda.

The arrangement is also expected to support the professional driver training for 10 of the Safari Rally safety caravan drivers, to enhance their road safety and defensive driving capabilities during the rally.
“We are incredibly proud to mark five years of continuous support for the WRC Safari Rally, a landmark event that showcases Kenya’s motorsport excellence to the world,” CFAO Mobility Kenya Managing Director, Arvinder Reel.
This year’s edition coincides with the 100th anniversary of Toyota Gazoo Racing’s participation in rallying.
Over the past century, Toyota Gazoo Racing has cemented its legacy as a dominant force in motorsport, winning multiple world championships and consistently pushing the boundaries of automotive performance and endurance.
The successive wins have proven Toyota’s superior engineering and resilience on Kenya’s toughest terrains.
As Kenya gears up for yet another exciting rally, Toyota by CFAO remains at the forefront of powering the competition and inspiring the next generation of rally champions. This comes as the Toyota team led by Elfyn Evans, and team-mates Takamoto Katsuta and Kalle Rovanpera ruled the roost in Rally Sweden over the weekend after emerging first, second, and fifth, respectively.
The team hopes to replicate this performance in the upcoming Safari Rally in Kenya.
