Il Safari Rally, detto anche semplicemente Safari, è una gara di rally istituita dalla East African Coronation Safari per celebrare l'incoronazione della Regina Elisabetta II. La prima edizione, svoltasi tra il 27 maggio e il 1º giugno del 1953, attraversava il Kenya, l'Uganda e la Tanzania (all'epoca Tanganica).
Storia
Fino al 1974 la gara ebbe nome di East African Safari Rally; in seguito divenne "Safari Rally". Il Safari Rally è considerato da molti come il rally più duro del mondo.
L'evento fu cancellato dal Campionato Mondiale Rally (WRC) nel 2003 per mancanza di fondi dell'organizzazione. Dopo alcuni anni in cui aveva validità solamente continentale, nel 2007 e nel 2009 è stata gara valevole per l'Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
