Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What guests usually ask before booking this excursion.

What's the best time of year for kitesurfing in Paje?

The kaskazi season (roughly December-March) and kusi season (roughly June-September) both bring reliable wind, with a quieter, lighter-wind window in between -- we can advise based on your travel dates.

Is the lagoon safe for beginners?

Yes, that's exactly why Paje is known as a beginner-friendly kite spot -- the lagoon is shallow and relatively enclosed, especially at low to mid tide.

Do I need any prior experience?

No -- this is designed as a first lesson, starting with land-based kite control before any water time.
