DIANI KITESURFING HOLIDAY


OVERVIEW
Kenya is blessed with some of the best diving on the East Coast of Africa along with some of the world's best wildlife safari parks making for a truly amazing holiday experience. Whether you are looking for world class diving, safaris, climbing or just a relaxing beach holiday, Kenya has it all.
As some of our staff have lived and worked extensively in this area we would suggest calling to chat through your options, so we can point you in the right direction of which resort to consider.
THE CLIMATE
Kenya experiences ideal holiday weather for most of the year, with the exception of April, May and June, which are seasonally subject to the long rains. Short rains can occur in November, but do not last long.
The heat of summer is seasonally often cooled by windy conditions, resulting in pleasant sea breezes, particularly on the north and east coasts. Being near to the equator, the islands are warm all year round, but officially summer and winter peak in December and June respectively.
Best times to visit are July through October; December through March. The best months to see manta rays are from December to February.
THE KITESURF SPOTS
The reef that runs pretty much down the whole coast of Kenya is only 300-400 metres offshore at Diani and this creates a beautiful lagoon between the reef and the beach. The warm, flat water is perfect for beginners and for blasting. The reef also provides a playground for the more adventurous as it picks up the swell for ramps and wave riding.

DIANI BEACH This is a beautiful, deserted beach and the lagoon is much deeper, with windsurf and kitesurfing being possible at all states of tide (except for extreme spring-tide). Wave-sailing is also excellent at Galu at mid to low-tide when the wave is steepest. We can arrange transport from Diani to Galu if required (10 mins) or if you are staying a Kite Village it is right outside your door.

GALU BEACH This is a beautiful, deserted beach and the lagoon is much deeper, with windsurf and kitesurfing being possible at all states of tide (except for extreme spring-tide). Wave-sailing is also excellent at Galu at mid to low-tide when the wave is steepest. We can arrange transport from Diani to Galu if required (10 mins) or if you are staying a Kite Village it is right outside your door.
