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!!
