Nasser vs Vohra as Mkwawa Rally Fires Off in Tanzania

From a long season of highs and heartbreaks, the African Rally Championship now boils down to one weekend, one rally, and two rival crews. By sunset on Sunday, September 21st, 2025, the continent will crown a new champion.

The contenders? Uganda’s pride, Yasin Nasser and Ali Katumba, versus Kenya’s rising force, Samman Vohra and Drew Sturrock. It’s East Africa’s ultimate showdown, and the battleground is none other than Tanzania’s Mkwawa Rally.

The route stretches 326.44 kilometers, a mix of 181.59 km competitive stages and 144.85 km liaison, designed to punish both man and machine. The Serengeti stageat29.15 km the longest of the rally will be repeated three times, while the shortest, the 11.91 km Kilimanjaro stage, is also set to feature three times.

Action begins this evening at 16:06 with the 4.70 km Mkwawa qualifying stage, which will decide start order. Saturday promises to be the war zone, with six brutal stages in store, before Sunday’s three-stage dash to the finish.

While all eyes are fixed on Nasser and Vohra, a handful of determined challengers are ready to disrupt the script. But make no mistake this fight is personal. For Nasser and Katumba, victory would mark a historic first African title for Uganda. For Vohra and Sturrock, it’s a chance to seize Kenya’s next great rallying chapter.

The tension is thick, the engines are primed, and the dust is about to rise. Africa’s motorsport destiny will be written in Tanzania and only one crew will stand tallest.
