It has bagged the award for Africa’s Top Beach Destination two years in a row, but aside from its clear turquoise waters, fresh seafood and bars right on the sand, Kenya’s coastal town of Diani is a world class kite surfing spot. It has an eight month long season when winds are favourable for the sport, which has led to the establishment of multiple kite surf centres. Riders from all levels can rent the latest gear, learn from internationally certified instructors or even store their own equipment.
