Kite Trip Kenya

Diani Galu Beach
Kiters from New York, London and Others!
After 6 years of epic trips with the London Kitesurfers Association & NYC Kiteboarding there is another Kenya Trip planned.
For beginners, intermediate and advanced riders - for all levels.
One of the most beautiful kite locations on the planet.
Two weeks of kitesurfing, party, chilling and delicious food.
And an African wildlife safari to Tsavo East national park.
The Spot
We will be on the best kite spot in Kenya: Diani Galu Beach.
Diani Beach is a stunning kiteboarding spot. It offers smooth thermal winds and is good for every kite level and great for progression and learning.
Sandy white beaches and tropical coloured waters (no wetsuit required).
Smooth winds for 12+ sqm and certain times smaller kites. The downwinders are epic too. More on the Kite Spot at Diani Galu Beach here.
Kiteboarding, Kite Foiling & Wing surfing coaching and lessons and rental available.
The Group
Since the first Kite Trip in 2018 we have had nearly 100 kitesurfers on the NYC Kiteboarding & London Kitesurfers Association on the Kite trip to Kenya.
All amazing and fun people and riding levels from absolute beginners to advanced riders.
Solo travellers, non-kiters, friends, partners, absolute beginners they all joined, and a good mix of male and female too.
We have had great kiteboarding, amazing wind, great downwinders, beautiful game safaris, and a lot of tasty food prepared by the resident chef.
