Custom kite camp.
Your group. Your dates. Your camp.
Bring us the shape of the trip you want to run, and we will build it. Pick the duration, the location, the season and the mix of activities. Tribe Watersports handles every piece of the ground operation around it.
The camp can run at either of our two centres or split across both. Run it during the Kaskazi trade-wind window (January to March) or the Kusi season (June to September). Add a Tsavo safari, a longer downwinder programme, family-friendly activities or anything else your group wants.
You bring the group. You set the retail price. We run the operation around your brief.
Two coasts to choose from.
Run your camp at one of our centres, or split it across both for a full Kenyan coast experience.
Watamu kite camp.
Inside the Watamu Marine Park. Crystal-clear flat water inside the reef, dolphin pods through Kaskazi season, full board accommodation with alcohol included at meals.
Diani kite camp.
All-inclusive Diani Beach with two operational sites: Sea Lodge as primary base, Galu Eco Lodge as the downwinder hub. Wider beach, longer downwinder runs.
Build your signature activity mix.
Every Tribe Watersports signature excursion is available, on either coast or both. Pick the mix that fits your group, the season, and the rhythm of your week.
