Adventure and Relaxation Combined:
Kayak the Scenic Routes from Janjanbureh!

Kayaking

Embarking on a kayak tour in Janjanbureh is more than just an activity—it's both a peaceful  yet  exhilarating adventure that immerses you in the rich tapestry of nature, history, and local culture. As you glide through the calm waters of the Gambia River, surrounded by vibrant colours and the soothing sounds of nature, you'll find a deep connection with the environment that's both relaxing and thrilling.

This eco-friendly experience allows you to explore the region responsibly, minimising your impact on the delicate ecosystem while creating unforgettable memories that will be the highlight of your visit to The Gambia.

Local Youth Lead the Way in Janjanbureh's
Kayak Tour Revolution

Kayak Guide Training

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. These guides have undergone 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.

 Darren Sherwood  and Chris Brain were the International Trainers
