Cycling Around Janjanbureh
Cycling offers an active and flexible way to explore Janjanbureh and its surrounding villages. Guided rides follow island paths and quiet rural routes, allowing visitors to travel at a slower pace while enjoying the landscape and everyday life along the way. Routes can be adapted to different abilities, with bicycles available locally.
The cycling tours are linked to wider community initiatives that have brought long-term benefits to Janjanbureh, particularly in education and youth skills.
Through the Czech Bikes for Gambian Schools programme,
bicycles have been supplied to schools in the area, helping children who face long journeys to attend classes.
An important part of this programme is training in bike assembly and maintenance, creating skills and income opportunities for young people. In Janjanbureh, local guides and mechanics have been trained to support both school bicycles and visitor cycling activities, strengthening the link between tourism, education, and community benefit.
