Fans get a front-row seat to Safari Rally action at Galana Energies Malewa #AD

On Friday, March 13, 2026, the station came alive as rally machines pulled in for crucial refuelling before heading back into the unforgiving terrain.

For spectators gathered at Malewa, it offered a rare opportunity to witness the speed, precision, and choreography of a professional rally pit stop up close.

Throughout the day, the station transformed into the heartbeat of the rally, where drivers, media personnel, and rally enthusiasts converged.

The Malewa station’s strategic location along the rally route made it a natural hub for both competitors and fans.

Beyond the spectacle of rally cars arriving and departing in quick succession, the fuel zone gave fans a glimpse into the crucial behind-the-scenes operations that sustain one of the world’s toughest rallies.

Galana Energies customers were also treated to a unique mock rally pit stop experience designed to bring the excitement of rally servicing to everyday motorists. During the activation, motorists received a curated rally-style vehicle treatment that included quick car servicing, engine checks, tyre inspections, and a fuel refill, all delivered with the pace, coordination, and sharp execution of an actual rally pit crew.

The experience allowed customers to feel the adrenaline and precision that define rally pit operations while showcasing Galana Energies’ commitment to vehicle care and performance.

According to Sharon Bachia, Head of Marketing at Galana Energies, the moment reflected the brand’s deep connection to Kenya’s mobility culture.

“Safari Rally Kenya is an iconic Kenyan sporting moment, and being part of the ecosystem that keeps it moving is something we are incredibly proud of,” she said.
