Kenya Kitesurfing at the Nyali Beach, Mombasa

Listed as one of the "top 3 kitesurfing destinations" if you are a kitesurfer looking to enjoy a great kitesurfing holiday then kitesurfing in Kenya should be right up there on your travel "wish-list".

If you explore our Kenya Holidays website you will see that as a holiday destination Kenya is a fabulous choice.

But as a kitesurfer why not consider taking a safari with a weeks' kitesurfing at the Nyali Beach Hotel in Mombasa.

If you require tuition then the kitesurfing centre is set directly on Nyali beach backing onto the private and well maintained grounds of the Nyali Beach Hotel and its two swimming pools and garden bars.

Tuition starts at around £150 for a total of 6 hours and ranges from level 1 to level 3 tuition. We can obtain a price for you depending on your requirements.

What makes Nyali Beach such a great kitesurfing spot is that its' a good 1.5km long and is safe for both those learning kitesurfing basics as well as those of you who are experienced kitesurfers.

Nyali Beach is a protected reef area. The reef is 2km away so gives you a brilliant kitesurfing playground of flat to choppy freestyle conditions and for the experienced the reef kicks up some epic wave riding on anything from 8 to 25ft waves of glass. Truly for the strong rider.

We can obtain great prices for your flight and accommodation at the Nyalii Beach Hotel and we can also check on kitesurfing lessons should you require them.
