The beautiful island of Zanzibar is located in the Indian Ocean. It is famous for its beautiful beaches with crystal-clear, turquoise water. Our spot has shallow water and is perfect for beginner kiters. Because of the two different seasons you can either surf under the sun in the summer or check out this spot in the winter when it’s cold and dark back home.

We found the perfect spot and accommodation for your kitesurf holiday at Zanzibars east coast in Jambiani.Right at the huge shallow water lagoon in Jambiani, the Coral Rock Hotel is ready for your KiteWorldWide kiting trip. It is located directly at the water’s edge and so you always have a view of the turquoise blue water of the Indian Ocean. It seems as if the scenery was taken from a storybook!

The kitespot is directly in front of the lodge. Because of a 2km long sandbank we have a huge lagoon with shallow water which is perfect for instructions and trainings but also a dream for freestyle.

Since June 2012, there is a KiteWorldWide owned, VDWS licensed kitesurf school on Zanzibar, Jambiani, with multilingual instructors and new gear from CORE Kiteboarding.

The kite seasons are from June till September and from December till March. The wind direction is always sideshore.

This small, amazing island in front of the east coast of Tanzania does not only have beautiful beaches and coasts but also beautiful dive sites and lots of alternatives activities to do.

Zanzibar is also famous for its huge variety of spices which gave Zanzibar the nickname: “Spice island”.

The beautiful historic centre of Zanzibars capital, Stone Town is also worth a visit. Freddy Mercurys home town is beautifully laid out with tiny alleys and coral-stone made colonial houses. There are some great little shops and fun bars to hang out in.

Kitesurfing on Zanzibar

Kitesurfing Spot

This exclusive kitesurf spot is located nearby the hotel at the east coast of Zanzibar in Jambiani. From June to September and from December until March this spot provides perfect conditions for beginners, advanced riders and freestylers.

Here, a 2 km long sandbank forms a large shallow water lagoon, a perfect place for our lessons and trainings. We use equipment from CORE Kiteboarding and ION gear. The VDWS licensed instructors and our partner school, KiteWorldWide Center Zanzibar / Jambiani speaks English German and French.

Only 5 km north of your “homespot” you will find the popular Spot: Pajé. The Water is flat and shallow. During the summer advanced kiters are able to do a downwinder to Pajé.

The winter kitesurf season lasts from December till March. During the summer you can kitesurf from June until October. The wind is always sideshore and during the kitesurf seasons really reliable.

This spot is strongly regulated by tides, but it is also possible to kitesurf under low tide conditions after a short walk on the beach. During high tide launching the kite can be more difficult, that’s why we recommend kiting during high tide only for advanced kiters.

Because of small solitary corals it’s recommended to wear neoprene surf shoes.

General information

Currency

Kindly be informed that you can pay your final bill either by cash (Tzs, USD and Euro accepted) or by credit card (5% supplement applied).

Immigrations / Visa

As an EU citizen, you need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after your return date.
You will get your visa directly at the airport, it currently costs 50,- USD.
Meanwhile it is also possible to apply for an E-Visa in advance.

Transfer

The costs for the transfer are 60,- EUR each way.
After landing, the transfer driver will greet you in the arrivals hall with a large “Coral Rock” sign. The journey to your accommodation takes about an hour.

Food and Beverage

Breakfast is included in the price. In advance you can upgrade to half board for 18,- EUR per day, per person.

In total you can expect 20 – 50 EUR for food and drinks apart from breakfast and without half board.

In our often very remote destinations we attach great importance to cooperation with farmers, fishermen and markets from the surrounding villages. Therefore we ask for your understanding that due to the regional and seasonal product selection we can only cater to certain needs to a very limited extent, such as lactose-free, gluten-free or vegan food.
However, vegetarian variations are usually found on every menu.

Kiteschool / Kitespot

Our school is VDWS licensed and our team consists of German speaking and local teachers.
Our equipment is always up to date with kites from Core and Flysurfer, boards from Core and Crazy Fly, as well as helmets, vests, etc. from ION and Mystic.

The kite service includes the launch and landing service.

If you want to bring your own equipment, we recommend a male advanced kiter (level 6 or 7) who weighs about 80kg
in winter:                 10qm – 15qm (most used kite size 12qm)
and in summer:       8qm – 15qm (mostly used kite size 10qm)

The spot on this wonderful beach is right in front of the Red Monkey Lodge, where our school is located.
Coral Rock is at the other end of the beach, about a 200 meters walk away.

Zanzibar’s east coast depends on the tides, which means that the way to the water may be a bit further at low tide. But to visit the beach at low tide is definitely a must do!
The corals, which provide this beautiful clear water, also offer living space for sea urchins and other sea dwellers in some places. Our team knows where more or less of them live. The team also knows where the fishermen – a little further away – have positioned their fishing nets. You will be instructed accordingly on site.
At the reef further out runs a top wave which can not only be kited but also surfed.
Foiling is also possible at this spot!

Environment / Respect

Please be careful with the environment and the locals. Avoid running around the village (noticeably) drunk and/or too permissive and topless or nude sunbathing.

Please also pay attention to water consumption as it is limited.
We also advise against drinking tap water or brushing your teeth as your stomach is not used to it.

WiFi / Electricity

WiFi is available in the hotel. However, it’s not the fastest, which makes a Skype conference difficult probably.

The electricity flows at 220 – 240 volt AV, which corresponds to an English socket.
