About Charlie’s Travels

We are Charlie’s Travels: a Dutch travel agency aiming to show travellers the real, diverse Africa! This is made possible because of our very skilled and passionate team: a group of African enthusiasts living across the continent. We join forces to organise unforgettable, authentic, and off-the-beaten-track tours in Eastern and Southern Africa, especially appealing to those travellers who want to escape the standard tourist route and embark on a more authentic adventure!

Africa, the other Story

Together with our travellers and our partners, we want to paint a complete picture of Africa, change people’s perspective (as an alternative to stereotypes and cliches about Africa), and let people engage in the ‘real Africa’! We do this by offering a refreshing way of travelling. How? First, simply be on the ground 24/7 in the destinations we specialise in. We can develop our routes, expand our network on a daily basis and create the most extraordinary experiences, thus offering genuinely authentic trips! For over 9 years we served the Dutch market - but it’s time to expand and introduce our unique products and services to the German market. To make our German market more successful and long lasting, we are searching for a native who can give tailor made travel advice to our German leads and is successful in turning proposals into WON deals!!

Do you want to…

Be part of our International team and work closely with marketing, sales and operations experts.
