Who Will You Explore With?
It's time to push the boundaries of your comfort zone! Hop in a 4x4 with your family and gaze at the thundering elephants, embark on a multi-day hike with friends through the Taita Hills, or explore the narrow streets of Mombasa on a streetfood tour with your loved one.
We had a wonderful trip, “made by” Charlie’s Travels thanks to the great advice from this company. All our wishes came true. Beautiful accommodations, unique experiences, the best driver ever, and everything we hoped for!
Together with Charlie’s Travels and my fellow board members, I discovered South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique in 2.5 weeks. Sleeping in tents on the beach or in the wilderness, hiking through Swaziland, Ocean Safari, Game drives, this trip had it all. I recommend everyone to let Charlie’s Travels help you find the perfect trip!
Travelling around South Africa with a group of girls has never been easier. Thanks to Charlie’s Travels, our trip consisted of the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure and good food to suit our needs and, also important for students, our budget.
I definitely recommend traveling with Charlie’s Travels! Everything is well organized, but also the positive impact they have on the locals and country – that’s what makes them so outstanding if you ask me.
Great young and ambitious travel company with boots on the ground in Africa. We travelled with them through South Africa and Namibia. They made great experiences/activities possible that we would never have discovered on our own otherwise. For the next trip to Africa, I will definitely contact them again.
What a fantastic honeymoon we had with Charlie’s Travels! In just 19 days, we visited three countries: South Africa, Swaziland, and Mozambique. We spent a few nights sleeping under the stars in our personal camper and a few nights in luxury accommodations. Everything was wonderfully organized!
We had a FANTASTIC TRAVEL thanks to Charlie’s Travels! We had the best driver/guide and everyone was very welcoming. Everyone was on time. We had a really good time there! We went with a group of 8. THANK YOU!!!
We chose Charlie’s Travels because we had quick and good contact with them, we got a good plan right away that appealed to us, it is a Dutch organisation that is on the ground AND they have a good reputation.
We put together the trip of our dreams and are incredibly grateful for all the help. Everything was perfect! I don’t normally write reviews, but they really deserve it.
We booked a self-drive tour through Charlie’s Travels that started in Windhoek, Namibia, and ended in Maun, Botswana. The great thing about Charlie’s Travels was that they listened to our needs and exceeded our expectations. For sure, our next self-drive tour in Africa will be through Charlie’s Travels again
Kenya Mighty Nature, the Big Five, and vibrant kenyan tribes
Kenya is for the traveler who wants to experience it all. Enjoy motorcycle adventures in Magadi, spot zebras from the back of a horse, or climb the rock walls of Mount Kenya.
Tarzan jungles, green cityscapes and mountain gorillas
From gorilla trekking to a motorbike ride past temples and mosques in green Kampala. Uganda has been crowned the Pearl of Africa for a reason. Ready to discover it for yourself?
Salt pans, mokoro boat trips and endless savannahs
Safari paradise with a slightly more luxurious edge. Explore the Okovango Delta in a boat made of a hollowed-out tree trunk, spot the big five from the air (!) and come face to face with rhinos.
Self-drive adventure through magical Namibia
Wow, Namibia's landscapes are epic and you will experience it all your own way on this trip. Ultimate freedom! Complement your trip with a hike through Damaraland, a kayaking trip in a river canyon or go mountain biking through the desert.
