Paje's wide, shallow lagoon and steady trade winds have made it one of the world's best kitesurfing destinations -- this session is a proper introductory lesson with a certified instructor, not just a board rental.
Paje sits on Zanzibar's east coast where a huge shallow lagoon is exposed at low tide and steady kaskazi and kusi trade winds blow reliably for much of the year, which is why the village has grown into one of Africa's best-known kitesurfing hubs.
Safety briefing and land-based kite control practice with a certified IKO instructor before entering the water.
Guided water time in the shallow lagoon practising board start and basic control under close instructor supervision.
