Kiteboarding South Africa - Safari Style

Kiteboarding South Africa offers some of the most beautiful locations you will ever see. Hot to warm temperatures year round and consistent winds are what make South Africa worth the trip.

African Safaris and wildlife, beautifully diverse cultures, great nightlife in the cities and spectacular, uncrowded, sandy beaches, with great wind are what make kiteboarding in South Africa the draw card it is. So its no coincidence Aaron Hadlow and Reuben Lenten choose Cape Town, South Africa as their premier kiteboarding training ground.

Under the spectacular Table Mountain, Cape Town is a great place to start your kiteboarding South Africa trip. A hot summer season from October to March - and super-consistent (blowing almost every day) 'South Easterly' winds throughout the summer season mean you will not be disappointed. As an indicator your 12m would definitely be your light wind kite, you're better off on a 9m or 7m. Bring your surfboard too - waves are where its at for kitesurfing South Africa.

Winter also offers some good kiting but is generally in more gusty North Westerly conditions in Cape Town. For pure flat water kiteboarding head up to Langebaan Lagoon about 2 hours north of Cape Town.

Moving east from Cape Town along the coast, the Garden Route is a great place to discover - again lots of options on many great beaches from Witsands to Still Bay and many more - be sure to check out 'Knysna' (NiceNa) as a cool coastal town to relax, enjoy some oysters and a locally brewed beer.

About 800 kilometers east of Cape Town, you reach the world famous surf Destination - Jeffreys Bay, and then on through the Wild coast of the Transkei and up to sub-tropical Durban area.

Kite rentals are available from big brands schools and shops in almost every known kiting location in SA. So you are in excellent hands if you are wanting to learn.

Car rental is also easily done from any of the major airports and cities; and the best way to travel in South Africa.
