CHAIRTABLE CAUSES
“Team Tido and its Race4Health project have helped to amplify the social and economic efforts of the Safari Classic Rally in recent years, so it is a real pleasure to know they will be rejoining us for the 2017 Classic later this year,” said rally director Raju Kishinani.
“Few Safari Classic entrants have done as much for charitable causes here.”
