Absolutely outstanding kite school and rental center! … The kite spot is simply spectacular: crystal-clear water, turtles swimming around you, and even reef sharks gliding beneath your board while you're riding.
Extremely nice and competent team, Top kite spot in the world. … Most friendly instructors I’ve seen.
Tribal kite school got it all from the services they offer and the vibrant vibes from the staff … I highly recommend any one going to watamu to reach out on Tribal kite school for watersport activities.
Can’t say enough about Tribal and Zonjee. I had kite surfing lessons which were very enjoyable and the instruction was brilliant - clear, relaxed, patient. … Highly highly recommended!
He’s a fantastic instructor : patient, knowledgeable, and super friendly. He explained everything clearly, made sure we felt safe and confident, and truly adapted the lessons to our level.
I had an incredible time learning with Tribal Kite School and my instructor Zonjee. … Everything felt safe, fun, and motivating — I progressed much faster than I expected.
Also watched Zonjee get an older kiter up and riding from scratch within 2 days. Great teaching skills, new gear and just a great setup for those wanting to learn at a superb location.
Zonjee suggested various alternatives, and we chose floating through the mangrove forests in Mida Creek. … We had a really good time and a lot of fun. Definitely worth trying. Zonjee was a great guide.
Super professional guy
