Kitesurfing Tanzania

After testing and experimenting with different spots in Zanzibar, this kite school decided to set up in Nungwi and Pwani Mchangani (north-east coast), and not on the south-east coast. The conditions are also perfect all year round in terms of wind and waves (the best being January/February and June/July). And here no seaweed sticking to the board! The school offers courses at different levels, and rents equipment to experienced kiteboarders. Good equipment and safe supervision by very professional local instructors.

This kitesurfing school, right on the beach, is part of the wonderful The Nest hotel in Pajé. It's run by Stéphane, a friendly Frenchman who's the perfect teacher. The spot is really wonderful for all kitesurfers, beginners and advanced alike. A superb lagoon with turquoise waters and beautiful waves created by the coral reef 2 km from the shore. Interesting holiday packages are available with lessons or equipment rental. You can also try out a kitefoil or windfoil, these new machines that seem to float on the water.

Kitesurfing is on the rise in Zanzibar. If Pajé is the Mecca, Kiwengwa beach is also well exposed to the wind, with a clear turquoise lagoon and a smooth surface ideal for kitesurfing. Duotone ProCenter is a renowned international kitesurfing school that also offers other contemporary board sports: kitefoiling, which gives the impression of floating on the water, wingfoiling, with a small sail between kite and windsurf, and stand-up paddle. Lessons for all levels and equipment hire.

It's not only in Jambiani and Pajé that you can kite. This school is located in Kiwengwa, and it is run by Italians, like the bar-resto (nice to eat) and the hotel (opened in 2020) associated, and like many places on this beach! A chance to indulge in that tropical glide on smooth water, both at high and low tide, as you always have your footing here. The wind is quite constant for beginners who would like to test the experience, and the equipment is quite recent, sponsored by the brand Ozone.
