Paje

East coast beach & kite capital

About Paje

Paje is a laid-back village on Zanzibar's east coast, world-renowned as one of Africa's best kitesurfing spots. The long shallow lagoon, consistent trade winds, and bohemian beach vibe make it irresistible. Even non-kiters love the stunning tidal flats and seaweed farms.

Highlights

  • World-class kitesurfing & windsurfing
  • Stunning low-tide tidal flats
  • Yoga retreats & wellness centres
  • Seafood beach restaurants
  • Starfish spotting at low tide

Travel Tips

The trade winds blow strongest June–September. The east coast road can be rough in places — a 4×4 is recommended in the rainy season.
