Zanzibar kiteholidays

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).

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.

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 “Red Moneky Lodge” or “Coral Rock” sign. The journey to your accommodation takes about an hour.

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.

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!

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.

You can drop off your clothes for washing at the Red Monkey Lodge.

WiFi is available in the common lounges. 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.
