Kitecamp in Watamu, Kenya

In Kenya you will find enough space for many kiters, but there are none. Usually it is only us and two or three other people on the water. Thanks to the reliable thermals, you can prepare for many wind days. We will mainly have wind for ten to twelve square meter kites. 

Due to the sideshore wind we will mainly stay at the kite station, where we have also stored our equipment and can use the infrastructure. In Watamu you can of course freely organize your time. We definitely don't have stress, we have a lot of time. 

We'll help you progress and improve your skills during our kitesurfing sessions. If you'd like to try a waveboard or foil, we can make it happen. Waves can occasionally be found at the reef, but the tides and wind have to be perfectly aligned for that to happen. 

We also plan downwinders if conditions are right. The only thing we need to decide is how long we want to ride the wind. We'll ensure your progress, safety, and lots of fun on the water.

As part of the international edition of our kite camp, large parts of the joint program, such as video analysis or workshops, may be held in English. As with all our other camps, coaching sessions will also be conducted in English if needed.

Therefore, anyone who wants to ensure that the majority of the content is presented in German should book a "standard" event.

Yes, so that you can try things out and don't have to sit around waiting for better wind, we offer our equipment in a package. Our equipment rental includes kites and boards. 

Whether you're kiting on land or on the water, in strong or light winds – we have the right equipment for you! This means you can travel much more carefree, use twin-tip or waveboards as you please, and enjoy new kites from top brands like Flysurfer, Core, Ozone, Harlem, or Duotone, and spend more time on the water overall.

Good to know: Harness and neoprene equipment

If you don't have your own harness or want to try one out, let us know, and we'll pack the right one for you to rent. By the way, the rental fee will be credited towards the purchase price if you keep the harness after the camp.

If you don't have your own wetsuit or other neoprene equipment, we're happy to advise you or help you rent one on-site.

Our kitecamp includes Supervision .

For everyone who wants to learn kitesurfing or enjoy some kite lessons for intense progress we offer Coaching packages.

Based on experience, 10 out of 14 participants ultimately want a coaching package. Please note, however, that booking additional coaching sessions on-site is limited or even impossible. Therefore, if you're keen to make progress, please book your coaching package in advance.

As soon as the gate opens, the luxurious mansion will impress you. The property has a beautiful landscaped tropical garden, a large swimming pool and a cozy area to relax.

You don't have to take care of your physical well-being in Kenya, as there is a private cook for us. He provides you with breakfast and dinner. Every day starts with a healthy breakfast together. There is homemade granola with fresh and juicy fruits, eggs in different variations and deliciously ripe avocados.

During the day you can get something to drink right on the kite beach at the surrounding bars and restaurants and buy a lunch snack or a delicious Italian ice cream. 

Dinner at our mansion is varied. There is everything from vegetarian dishes to meat or fish.

In the city of Watamu (five minutes by moped or tuk tuk) there are some good restaurants and bars where you can eat and drink well. With a lot of Italian influence, you are well looked after here in very beautiful places. 

The final destination of the trip is Mombasa. Ethiopian Airlines flies there relatively quickly with a stopover. Our tip: Ethiopian Airlines includes one 23 kg sports baggage allowance.

No matter how you get to Mombasa, we will definitely pick you up from the airport.

Money: Official currency in Kenya is the Kenyan shilling. If you want you can change a small amount at the airport. However, we advise you not to change a larger amount there, because there is an opportunity for a better course in Watamu. You can also withdraw money with your credit card in the city.

Travel insurance: We're not insurance agents, but we're committed to offering you comprehensive travel insurance. And in truth, cancellation and travel insurance does make sense. You can choose an insurance package when booking.
