Local Youth Lead the Way in Janjanbureh's
Kayak Tour Revolution
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Fair Play Gambia and JUST ACT, kayaking here is led by locally trained guides, equipped with expert skills and a deep knowledge of the River Gambia. In January 2020 these guides received extensive training funded by the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP), ensuring your safety while offering a truly immersive experience. YEP also funded the high quality kayaks and safety equipment
Not only is this an opportunity for adventure, but it's also a chance to support local youth empowerment initiatives. The kayaking tours are part of a project that uplifts young Gambians by providing them with skills, confidence, and a livelihood—making your experience not just fun, but impactful.
