WHICH AFRICAN PATH TO TAKE?
AFRICAN KITESURFING SAFARIS2.O FROM CAPE TOWN
Ten days of exploring 20+ kitesurfing spots starting from Cape Town...and to take it to the next level in excitement, you get to do the most exciting sports we could find around Cape Town.
Cape Town is one of best kitesurfing locations in the world, and by far the best kiteboarding location in South Africa. With over 20 kiting spots in this part of South Africa, there is a beach suitable for every type of kiteboarder; from epic waves to butter flat riding spots. Every year between November and March the world's professional kitesurfers flock to Cape Town to train. Cape Town is blessed with 5-6 days of wind per week for kiteboarding. Wind often starts around 11 am at 13-15 knots and steadily builds throughout the day to around 35 knots, allowing for whatever type of wind you want for kiteboarding. The safaris will focus on kitesurfing for intermediate and advanced kiters, but will also have a mega-mix of Adrenaline Boosters. You will use Cape Town as a base camp, but you will go out for 2 or 3 days to get the maximum amount of kitesurfing and Adrenaline Boosters, then head out in the other direction. In the evenings, you will stay in a mix of beach front accommodations to local hostels, depending on the area we are in. Each morning, we pack up the Mercedes cruiser and head to our next kite beach. With wind blowing in your face we will cruise down the famous South African highways feeling the kite life. Once we get to that spot of the day, you may join in our FREE 2 hour small group kiteboard lesson. This is so you will advance as a kitesurfer over your safari and go home with nothing but big ass smiles on your face. After the kiteboard lessons if you chose to partake, you spend the rest of the day kitesurfing the waves or butter flat water, chilling, eating, kiteboarding, relaxing and hopefully kiteboarding some more. Driving home afterwards, you will definitely fall asleep in The Kite Life stylin’ Mercedes and when you open your eyes, you will be back to have a few beers with our new found friends and swap kiteboarding stories.
Adrenaline Boosters
To make your kiteboard vacation to fabulous Cape Town even more memorable, we have created Adrenaline Boosters. Including but not limited to skydiving, abseiling, shark cage-diving, a game reserve and a township experience for the mornings before the wind starts. All included in the price.

Tobias Storm, Denmark
We will try to adhere to this itinerary as much as possible, but ultimately we are all about finding the best wind
Endorsement
I got to meet with Gabe from The Kite Life and a couple of their guests when i was back in my home country South Africa for few weeks and was fortunate enough to tag along. I was super impressed with the professionalism and hospitable service that they gave making sure that your stay is as comfortable and stress free as possible, even the price is a bargain for what you get; definitely an all in one adventure where memories are priceless for what you pay. I highly recommend The Kite Life to my friends and anyone wanting an adventure of a life time. Clinton Bolton, professional kitesurfer

Flights
Cape Town International Airport serves both domestic and international flights. It is the second-largest airport in South Africa and serves as a major gateway for travelers to the Cape region. Cape Town has direct flights to most cities in South Africa as well as a number of international destinations. Flying time is around 12 hours, but if you sleep on the overnight journey, you’ll be bright-eyed and without jet lag on arrival; as the time difference from somewhere like London is only 2 hours.
Visa
For stays of up to 90 days, visitors from Europe and the USA require only a passport, which needs to be valid for at least another six months. Make sure that at least two to three pages are left blank for official stamps as you may otherwise be refused entry. A valid return ticket is required upon entry. If you intend to stay longer than 90 days in South Africa, you can extend your Visa up to another 90 days.
Safety
South Africa's major cities have received much negative publicity about crime, and while there is a high degree of media hype, it can still be a problem and we would not be fulfilling our duty to make you aware of this. On the other hand, some people imply that to visit Cape Town will almost inevitably result in you falling victim to crime. This is simply not true. According to the South African Police Service “Cape Town's crimes usually take place in suburban townships rather than in the more upscale urban areas where tourists visit. Most of the Cape Town area’s violent crimes happen between people who know one another..."
Health issues
Cape Town is clean and developed and you don't need to worry about contracting rare African diseases here. The water is drinkable (from the taps) and there is no risk of Malaria or similar diseases. It is not necessary to get any special vaccinations. Medical services are of a relatively high standard compared with other African cities.
By taking a safari with The Kite Life, you join a select few who simply want the best out of life. You are not scared to chase your passion of life and kitesurfing. We have not set a rock bottom price on these safaris because we are not trying to get every single intermediate and advanced kitesurfer to reserve a spot. This is an awesome product and we’ll be damned if we let anyone have it who hasn’t got the passion and guts to run with it. We want doers, not buyers. You can reserve your African Kitesurf Safaris 2.0 spot for only 999 Euros. There are 25 spots available over the 5 departure dates. You can reserve your spot at www.thekitelife.com
Languages
While the most commonly spoken language in Cape Town is Afrikaans, English is most commonly understood here. But, as English is only one of South Africa’s 11 official languages, a strong vernacular has developed, and English-speaking visitors might have a hard time recognizing some of the words. But Cape Town is a friendly bunch of people, so if you’re totally confused, just ask and soon you’ll be speaking South African “now now”!
SIM cards
You can buy a sim card for your mobile phone at any supermarket or cell phone shop for very cheap (one or two Euros). Almost every supermarket or petrol station sells recharge vouchers to top up your phone.
Without passion you don't have energy, without energy you have nothing.
Donald Trump
Kite repair
Cape Town has several top-notch kite repair businesses. You can also get parts and supplies for most major brands in Cape Town.
What to bring
Valid passport. Camera with plenty of memory. Personal medications. Travel insurance is optional. Light jacket as evenings can be cool. Electrical adapter.
What NOT to bring
Unnecessary jewelry, watches, expensive belongings, etc.

WHO IS THE CREATOR OF THE KITE LIFE?
This is the story of a businessman who sets out to kitesurf around the globe. Meet Gabe Webber, a hedge fund economist who replaced a neat office routine with a life of adventure and adrenaline. Dropping his safe job and home within only 3 weeks, Gabe is now living the dream many wish to reach – a life dominated by wind and waves. Three years and four continents later, the IKO kiteboard instructor is living proof that chasing your passion can be easy and highly rewarding. Throughout the years as a clever and versatile traveling IKO instructor, Gabe carefully examined the kitesurf industry. Using his economics background, he gathered research material and evaluated trends. With a rapidly growing group of intermediate and advanced kitesurfers around the globe, Gabe’s decision to cater to this specific target group opens new opportunities in kitesurf travel. His recently created company, The Kite Life, offers a large variety of kite safaris - always off the beaten track and always with that extra kick of adrenaline. The safaris are made for people who are, above all, interested in kiting unique spots with high caliber coaches, but who also crave for a more adventurous and cultural experience. Gabe Webber has gathered a large amount of expert kitesurf and travel knowledge, from cold big wave water in South Africa to warm flat-water bays in the Caribbean. After many adventures seeking for new spots, he is now ready to share this knowledge with you. That is what The Kite Life is all about – joining the true kitesurf lifestyle and indulging in adrenaline and culture on a daily basis. (Written by Alma Buchli) Personifying THE KITE LIFE...
Embarrassing Kite Moment
One day I showed up to kite at my local beach on St.Croix in the Virgin Islands and there were several pro’s there to ride.

Testimonial
Gabe is a truly excellent, knowledgeable and helpful instructor who I will always thank for properly introducing me to kiteboarding -- an adventure which started back in Costa Rica. He's patient, chill, extremely well-traveled (with lots of stories and advice) and a great guy to have a drink with after a long day on the water. One and a half years later I've kited on 5 continents! Eric Schute - New York City
