- Thursday lunchtime's traditional Safari start in the heart of capital city Nairobi is followed by a side-by-side super special in the afternoon at Kasarani, north-east of the city centre.
- Friday's opening leg covers the southern shore of Lake Naivasha. Chui Lodge and Oserian, both in the Oserengoni Wildlife Conservancy Estate which is home to lions, leopards, giraffes, antelope and buffalo, sandwich Kedong, at 32.68km the longest stage of the rally and a Safari test of old. After service, all three are repeated to bring the day's total to 129.78 kms.
- Roads further north around Lake Elmenteita host Saturday's 132.08km of action. It opens with Elmenteita's oft-used tracks in the Delamere Estate. It is followed by Soysambu and Sleeping Warrior, set in the shadow of a hill that resembles a Masai warrior lying down. The trio are driven for a second time after service.
- Sunday's finale spans both the north and south sides of Lake Naivasha. The forested Loldia to the north and Hell's Gate to the south sandwich the rocky Malewa. The first two tests are then driven again. The second pass through Hell's Gate, which finishes amid stunning scenery at Fishers Tower, forms the Wolf Power Stage.
- The 18 stages total 320.19km.
- Saturday's Soysambu stage. It is classic Safari with a little bit of everything that made this event so legendary. A couple of river crossings near the finish with steep entries and exits, mud trucks on standby to pull anyone clear who gets stuck, big straights, flowing corners, rough compressions, and hard lava roads
