A Kiters secret spot in East Africa
Information
Kite Season:01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
Kenya shows with its untouched nature the most beautiful side of East Africa. The country wins our kiter hearts with its location and a monsoon wind directly on the Indian Ocean, called Kaskazi.
Kenya is a dream spot for kitesurfing, best conditions in the European winter months. The shallow water at our kitesurfing spot guarantees perfect conditions for beginners to learn kitesurfing. In the season between December and March there is constant wind from north/northeast, which means you always have on-shore wind. The air temperature is around 30 and the water around 25 degrees, so pleasant kiting without a wetsuit.
Besides kiting, the variety of other activities will make your time in Kenya unforgettable. Explore the mangrove forests on the SUP or exchange the kiteboard for a snorkel and explore the underwater world.
