(3 Apr 1978) RR7814B EAST AFRICAN SAFARI RALLY 1978
For 26 years, motoring enthusiasts in East Africa have
hosted one of the classic events in the motor sporting
calendar - the Safari Rally. In 1978, they really got
their money's worth! It was the roughest, toughest safari
they can remember. Of 68 starters, only 15 crews survived
after floodwaters washed away vital tracks, and shortcuts
were lost in a sea of mud. But there was a fairy-tale finish
- the winner being Jean-Pierre Nicolas, the French outsider
who had already pulled off a brilliant victory in the Monte
Carlo Rally.

I was 13 years then and I'm now 53...life was so so smooth then. Everything was sparkling with events like the rally brightened then Easter holidays...

We took part as Car No.70 unseeded duo in our 7 year old peugeot 504..1st Leg to the Western circuit went well and our 11nd Leg to the Coast..soon after Kilifi Tezo the radiator got a hole and we used mud to make up lip up to Mariakani .Our mechanics changed the radiator .We drove with problem all the way to Kitui and our service crew helped us with water as the cylinder head was already burnt out-Our 3rd Leg took us only to Nyeri but we had lost much time at Highridge changing the gasket and so we got time-barred only 300 kms to the finish.

Peter Mukundi I remember you sir. Though I was a young boy, the team of Mûkundi and Mûkundi was always in our safari conversations. I'm really envious of your great adventures.

In my office I had a huge poster of one of the 504 v6 coupes driving up a river in this event. We were Peugeot dealers in sydney.

I remember you when you checked in Mazeras checkpoint at night. I recall how the co-driver came out jovial and smiling at us. We were kids. Good job sir.

Yess!

Nostalgic sport. Just listen to that rumbling noise, check the wild country, and look at the enthusiastic crowds. The country would be on total lock-down as everyone heads to the vantage sports. My favorite was a river crossing on Chinga river.

@karimshariff2702 6 лет назад

I used to follow the rally on the radio and would write down the points lost at each check-point. Then it was out with my friends with our toy cars with our own river, mud and gutter crossings, 5 points lost for every roll-over.
