Kite Surfing Zanzibar

BEST OPTIONS AVAILABLE

Paje Village

The beautiful white sand beach and shallow water have turned Paje from a fishing village into a lively seaside resort, very popular as a kite surfing destination.

It is one of Africa’s best kite surfing spots, for both beginners and advanced surfers. The constant onshore wind, the warm water, but also the shallow lagoon to the reef make Paje an ideal kitesurfing destination for beginners. Advanced skiers can indulge themselves on the high waves behind the reef.

Jambiani Village

Jambiani is a half-hour walk south of Paje on the east coast of Zanzibar. The village – a sun-drenched collection of houses and palm trees – stretches for several kilometers along a beautiful coastline. The conditions are comparable, with a lovely wind and perfect water. But also a picturesque setting with the dhows and the boats in the sand.

Pwani Mchangani Village

Slightly further north on the east coast of Zanzibar is Pwani Mchangani. Not such a busy kitesurfing scene, but with similar conditions. So if you want it a bit quieter …

Temperature and wind

The average air temperature on the east coast of Zanzibar is 27 degrees from May to November and 29 degrees during the day from December to April. At night it is a degree less warm. Note, an average also has outliers.

The average sea temperature on the east coast of Zanzibar is between 26 and 29 degrees, with the water being the warmest in September and October (29 degrees) and the least warm in February / March (26 degrees).

Best season

Zanzibar has two best kitesurfing seasons:

From December to March, when the Kaskazi winds are mild in the morning and moderate in the afternoon. Excellent for beginners as well as experienced surfers.

And from June to September, when the Kuzi wind blows, moderate in the morning and quite strong in the afternoon. Popular with the more experienced kite surfers from all over the world.
