ZANZIBAR: Kitesurfing - Paje


KITESURFING CONDITIONS
Zanzibar offers perfect conditions for kitesurfing. The best time is between the middle of June till the end of September and from December till February. The WIND always blows along the beach – in August from South-East, in December from North-East. An approximate wind speed is 16 knots, rising in the evening. The most used kite size is 12 m and 9 m. The water is cristal-clear and home to many beautiful and colorful fish species and dolphins.

LOCATION
Paje lies on the eastern shore of Zanzibar, 60 km from the airport. Kitesurfers consider it to be the beast and most valuable surf spot. Sandy bottom, shallow water and the reef about 1,5 km away. There is a couple of restaurants and hotels in the area, and the very place, although popular among tourist, is very quiet and free of crowds (as is the whole Zanzibar, by the way). Here you can rest in a private and peaceful atmosphere. For those who need a little more action, we offer another one in Matemwe/Kiwengwa on the North-West shore and the renown dive spot in Nungwi on the Norhern tip of the island.

ACCOMMODATION
A picturesque private Vanilla House located in the South or Bellevue – North of Paje and the kite spot. We transport the surfers to the dive spot free of charge in approximately 10 minutes.
Overnights in Vanilla House – when buying a kitesurfing package you receive a discount!
Price per person per night: 35 USD Vanilla House / from 35 EUR Bugenvilla
