The east coast of Africa is an incredibly beautiful place. Sugar white sand, tropical gardens and turquoise blue sea lying directly on the equator. Africa will suck you in with its fabulous landscapes, warm and friendly people and tropical weather.
Not only is this a great wind sports destination, the diving is some of the best in East Africa and of course this is the land of the big game safari. With two or three parks just a short drive away we can arrange anything from a one night trip to Shima Hills or Tsavo to a full weeks combined safari including the Masai Mara.
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.

Trade winds blow consistantly cross on shore at varying times of year. There are two prime seasons for the wind. The Kaskazi from the North East swings over during November till April. November’s “short rains” often cause little wind and very hot muggy temperatures, but in mid/late December the winds pick up, lessen the humidity, and temperatures are at their best from 30 C to 35 C. The Ocean is at its most beautiful during this season.
The Kusi from the South East howls in from late April till late October during and after the “long rains” season of May / June. Air temperatures are from a cool 25 C to 30C. The winds and seas can often become quite strong and rough during squalls, so some watersports may be postponed from hour to hour with your safety in mind, but equally you will get magical days of blue skies, lots of wind, and full blue seas.
Perfect for all levels from beginners to advanced kiters.
There is a PADI diving centre located next door to the centre in Diani. Deep sea fishing is very popular here especially if you hook a marlin! Catamaran sailing, glass bottom boat trips and other watersports are available.
Even if you only come here for a week an overnight safari in Shimba Hills or Tsavo are highly recommended. The red elephant herds in Tsavo are a sight not to be missed. Here you will realy fall in love with this fabulous landscape, its people and its animals.
The centre has a small selection of windsurf kit for rental and a range of lessons from beginner to gybing.
Diani has a selection of restaurants from Italian, through Chinese to more traditional Indian Ocean cuisine and of course fabulous seafood! Forty Thieves bar is an amazing bar/restaurant on the beach with dancing until late on some nights.
