Diani Beginner Kitesurf Holidays, Kenya

The east coast of Africa is an incredibly beautiful place. Sugar white sand, tropical gardens and turquoise blue sea lying directly on the equator. Africa will suck you in with its fabulous landscapes, warm and friendly people and tropical weather.

Not only is this a great wind sports destination, the diving is some of the best in East Africa and of course this is the land of the big game safari. With two or three parks just a short drive away we can arrange anything from a one night trip to Shima Hills or Tsavo to a full weeks combined safari including the Masai Mara.

Itinerary / Highlights

THE WIND
Trade winds blow consistently cross on shore at varying times of year. There are two prime seasons for the wind. The Kaskazi from the North East swings over during November till April. November's "short rains" often cause little wind and very hot muggy temperatures, but in mid/late December the winds pick up, lessen the humidity, and temperatures are at their best from 30 C to 35 C. The Ocean is at its most beautiful during this season.

The Kusi from the South East howls in from late April till late October during and after the "long rains" season of May / June. Air temperatures are from a cool 25 C to 30C. The winds and seas can often become quite strong and rough during squalls, so some watersports may be postponed from hour to hour with your safety in mind, but equally you will get magical days of blue skies, lots of wind, and full blue seas.

THE KITESURFING
Perfect for all levels from beginners to advanced kiters.
