DM kite-surfing school kindly invites all beginners and experienced kite-surfers to a winter camp in Zanzibar, South Africa. A beautiful, cozy island of Zanzibar provides great conditions for learning and practicing kite-surfing in wintertime, when most of the Europe is covered by a thick layer of snow and dull sky.
Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania. It is composed of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 kilometres off the coast of the mainland, and consists of many small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, referred to informally as Zanzibar) and Pemba Island.
ZANZIBAR SPOT
Our kite-surfing spot is located in the East coast of Zanzibar, Paje beach, which is known as a kite-surfing Mekka. Mild, warm weather, shallow water beaches and lagoons, combined with front line bungalows, create cozy and convenient settings for both learning and relaxing.

ZANZIBAR GOOD TO KNOW
Zanzibar is a “50-dollar” island. Since it is a semi-autonomous from Tanzania, it has a visa regime. Therefore, entering the island is charged with 50-dollar fee.
Taxi to almost any destination will also cost around 50 dollars (if not more). There is an option to use local open busses (called dale-dale). This would be an exotic long and not necessarily convenient trip after a long flight, but worth trying anyway. It should be noted, that transportation costs greatly depend on driver’s mood and your inexperience ☺. Therefore, for your convenience, we can arrange transportation from the airport to the final destination in Paje beach.
Please contact us in need of any further information or guidance.
Looking forward to seeing You on a sunny beach!
