Workation in Paje: the essentials
Paje's lagoon is among the best-known places in East Africa to learn kitesurfing, with a shallow sandy bottom at low tide, a reef that holds back the waves and steady side-onshore wind for most of the year. The village on Unguja's south-east coast has become a strip of kite schools, guesthouses and beach bars with a young, seasonal crowd. When the tide goes out the water retreats a long way, so swimming depends on the time of day. Power cuts happen, and the long rains of April and May close many places. Zanzibar's airport is about 35 km away.
