This exclusive kitesurf spot is located directly in front of our lodge at the east cost of Zanzibar in Jambiani. It provides perfect conditions for beginners, advanced riders and freestyler. Here, a 2 km long sandbank forms a large shallow water lagoon, a perfect place for our lessons and trainings. We use equipment from CORE (GTS2 and XR2), Brunotti Boards and ION gear. The VDWS licensed instructor and our partner school, KiteWorldWide Center Zanzibar / Jambiani speaks English and German. Only 5 km north of your “homespot” you will find the popular Spot: Pajé. The Water is shallow too. During the summer advanced kiters are able to do a downwinder to Pajé. The winter kitesurf season lasts from December till March. During the summer you can kitesurf from June until October. The wind is always sideshore and during the kitesurf seasons really reliable. This spot is strongly regulated by tides but it is also possible to kitesurf under low tide conditions after a short walk on the beach. Because of small solitary corals it’s recommended to wear neoprene shoes.

OTHER ACTIVITIES FOR ZANZIBAR Activities to book on site (not included) Downwinder If you are an advanced rider, this is something you don’t want to miss. Riding endless waves downwind for 20 km, strapless, or with straps. It is an amazing trip where you can’t stop smiling, taking the waves, jumping, making big off the lips. If you are lucky you will see some turtles or dolphins on the way. Depending on the season (wind direction) we have a drop off and ride towards the hotel, or start from the hotel and have a pickup that brings us back. Afterwards you will finish the day with an amply seafood Barbecue. An incredible amazing coast area with dreamlike beaches and cristal clear water and a lot of fun and action awaits you!

Safari Blue-Boattrip On this “safari” you will sail with typical Dhow boats from Fumba in the south to a sandbank where you can snorkel and explore the faszinating under water world of the Indian Ocean.

Spicetour Zanzibar is also called Spice-island because you can find almost every spice here. On this guided half-day expedition you will discover spices in various ways. This excursion comes as a welcome and interesting change to the everyday kitesurfing life. Stone Tour You will visit the beautiful historic centre of Zanzibar’s capital, Stone Town. A guide will explain and show you certain interesting details about the home town of Freddy Mercury. In addition to the national museum you will find lots of bars and small shops. This charming historic center belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage and is affected by small alleys and coral-stone made colonial houses. Safari of Tanzania The word “safari” comes from Swahili meaning “to travel” or “to drive”. Zanzibar is a great starting point for a safari in Tanzania especially for those of you who have already done a safari and are looking for something special. Safaris from Zanzibar are possible only by air, so the recommended length is a minimum of five days. Safaris from and to Zanzibar, including flights, accommodations and game drives go at a rate of 1399€. If you are looking for the more simplistic experience of a safari we also offer jeep safaris in Kenya. From the KiteWorldWide lodge Kenya safari, you will be only a few hours’ drive from the great national parks to experience the “big five”.
