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!

Our self-drive trip through Namibia and Botswana was a great experience. We enjoyed the professional communication from Charlie’s Travels before, during and after our trip. They are clearly an experienced travel agent and know the market well.

For our honeymoon, we wanted something special. We came across Charlie’s Travels’ website, and were immediately sold. The promises were great, and during our trip, expectations were exceeded. We can highly recommend Charlie’s to anyone wanting a spectacular, amazing experience!!!

With eleven guests, we spent two weeks in Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda. Thanks to their tremendous effort and creativity, we had an unforgettable trip. We also had a lot of fun with the traveling chef, drivers, and various guides. If you want to be surprised in Africa, give them a call!

I LOVED my Tanzanian safari trip organized through Charlie’s Travels! It met all of our expectations!! The customer service of the travel agency was superb, and they delivered on all that we requested. I have used this agency now for the third time, and I will definitely continue using them.

We had an amazing trip with Charlie’s Travels to Kenya. We went well beyond the tourist hotspots and truly connected with the locals. It was undoubtedly the best trip we’ve taken with our three children! Marlies

Kenya

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.

Uganda

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?

Botswana

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.

Not to be missed

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.

"From vast hilly landscapes in Masaai land to the dry desert and hot springs at Magadi, staying with a Masaai family and sleeping in a tent among the wildlife, having breakfast with fresh pancakes in the morning sun and going to bed after a beer by the campfire, it was an unforgettable holiday within a holiday.
