Africa Born organized the most unique and magical kitesurfing trip you could imagine. We boarded a 70 year old dhow and sailed up through the Lamu Archipelago, sleeping out on the deck and hitting incredible deserted kitesurfing spots as we went.

The food, guiding, service and comfort levels were incredible. Africa Born was also able to ensure we had access to all the secrets of this largely undiscovered part of the world.
