Full Kenya Coast experience
Two coasts. One unforgettable kite trip.
Fourteen days running across both of Kenya's watersports capitals, Diani on the south coast and Watamu on the north. Tribe Watersports acts as your full ground operator at both centres: accommodation, beach base, kit storage, full safety cover, beginner instruction under our TRA and KWS licences, transfers between coasts, and a hand-picked bundle of signature activities at each location.
You bring the group and run the main coaching programme. We run everything else.
The trip comes in two editions. Coast Edition is the base 14-day trip with a road transfer between centres. Safari Edition swaps one beach night for an overnight stay at Satao Camp in Tsavo East National Park, with door-to-door safari transport between Diani and Watamu and game drives en route.
Pure coast, or coast with safari.
Same headline duration, same coastline. The difference is what happens in the middle of the trip.
Pure coast.
Seven nights in Diani at Diani Sea Lodge on Diani Beach, all-inclusive. A single road transfer up the coast. Six nights in Watamu at Garoda Resort, full board with alcohol included at meals. Two distinct kite spots inside a single trip.
Coast plus safari.
Drop one beach night and wake up at Satao Camp inside Tsavo East National Park. Door-to-door safari transport between Diani and Watamu, an afternoon game drive on arrival, a morning game drive on departure, then back to the ocean for the Watamu chapter.
The structure.
14 days across the two centres, connected by a single coastal road transfer.
Add a Tsavo chapter.
