1. Africa is our home

We know it from the farthest corners, and that results in amazing trips. We put them together by venturing out there ourselves. Believe us, you won't find these experiences anywhere else!

2. Local experiences

That means you'll visit local people in their villages and communities. Hike with the Maasai, cook with your host family in a homestay, and cast a line with traditional fishermen.

3. You decide

So, what are you in the mood for? We'll custom-tailor the entire trip to your wishes. And you can count on us along the way, even at night.

4. Travel responsibly

While you enjoy your dream trip, you'll be contributing to the development of local communities, economies, and the environment. That feels good!

Experience unspoiled Botswana with us

Botswana is unique, unspoiled, and simply breathtaking. With vast salt flats, sand dunes, savannahs, and lush river deltas, it is a dream destination for nature lovers.

For those who love safaris, Botswana is a true paradise. Visit the Okavango Delta, where wildlife is abundant: roaring lions, elephants, buffalos, hippos, and exotic birds await.

Moreover, Botswana is the perfect place for a self-drive adventure in a 4x4, thanks to its well-maintained roads and endless wilderness just waiting to be explored.

Race across the vast Kalahari Desert or navigate the swamps of the Okavango Delta. You'll truly feel alive here! And if time allows, don’t miss the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls in Zambia, an unforgettable and unique experience!

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

Charlie’s Travels helped us plan the trip of a lifetime. During our sabbatical, we toured Botswana and Namibia, and everything was great. From unique experiences to a very short line of communication. Thank you very much!

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.

Earlier, we shared how you, as a traveller, can help prevent animal suffering. Another crucial aspect of ethical and responsible travel is human rights. At Charlie’s Travels, we place great importance on treating people with dignity and respect. But how can you, as a traveller, embody these values?
