Dave Friedman Collection--Photographs--Prints--East African Safari--Item 1

Summary

The East African Safari Rally tested a car's and driver's endurance. During the 1960s, the rally's course covered thousands of miles passing through Kenya, Tanganyika (Tanzania) and Uganda. Drivers could expect punishing road conditions. Mud or dust was commonplace, depending on the season. And dodging wild animals could be expected. Many cars that entered did not finish the grueling competition.
