Tanzania kitesurf trips:
The Trip
In today’s world finding true adventure is becoming rarer and rarer.
When we found the beaches of Northern Tanzania we knew we’d found something special – a collection of world class kite spots in the African wilderness untouched by kitesurfers.
This is a place where we had to have meetings with local chiefs to get permission to kite their beaches, where 100 year old ngalawa dhows are the only other craft in the water… where every day we find something brand new.
This is where we’re running our trips, to a beautiful retreat called Peponis on Tanzania’s Pangani coast.
Read on for more information on our Tanzania kitesurf trip, what we’re doing and how to get involved!

COMMUNITY PROJECTS
We believe it’s important for our kitesurfing trips to Tanzania to have a positive impact on the local community. Our aim is to initiate projects that will benefit the local Tanzanians and allow their society to share the opportunities tourism brings.
We’ve already set up two community projects last season – we managed to build a new classroom for the Primary School in Kigombe and we renovated a wing of the medical dispensary in a town called Morongo.
