Kitesurfing holidays in Africa

Home to the most iconic kitesurfing city on the planet – Cape Town – Africa has the jewel in the crown… But there is plenty else on offer too – kitesurfing Kenya can prove just as rewarding and a few degrees warmer, and Morocco in the north is home to several of the very best kitesurfing waves. And – speaking of waves – you might also have heard of Mauritius and One Eye… Yes, Africa has plenty to offer.
