Tanzania

Discover authentic Tanzania with Charlie’s Travels. Spot the Big Five, brace yourself for breathtaking hikes, or unwind on a tropical beach.

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!

From towering mountains to stunning white beaches

Tanzania has it all. Beyond the famous Serengeti National Park and the majestic Kilimanjaro, this country is home to countless hidden gems you simply can't miss.

Take an off the beaten track hike to the Usambara Mountains, where you’ll wander through ancient forests, discover small, remote villages and soak in breathtaking views. Or visit the undiscovered, lush village of Mto Wa Mbu, known for its friendly locals and stunning scenery. Together with the local community, we offer unique experiences here, allowing you to discover the real, authentic Tanzania.

Explore conservancies where you’ll be one of the few visitors and immerse yourself in untouched nature. End your journey on pristine white beaches or venture to the unspoiled island of Pemba, far away from the crowds. What a dream!

 

Unique experiences in Tanzania

Enduimet Conservancy

My wife and I have been motorbike riders for years, but this trip was something entirely different. Riding through the savannah as herds of zebras crossed our path and ending the day with a sunset at the foot of Kilimanjaro—it was simply magical. Charlie’s Travels was fantastic and always ready to assist. The routes were well thought out and challenging in an enjoyable way. Perfect for motorbike riders looking for something special.

We had booked a trip to Tanzania with Charlie’s Travels last summer. How we enjoyed! Charlie’s is also highly recommended for off the beaten track baths. Consider a motorcycle safari and an overnight stay in a traditional Tanzanian village. Impressive!

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.

Small-scale accommodations where possible, attention to supporting local entrepreneurs and the population and the social/social part has a clear place in the program. Charlie’s has provided us with a top trip with their approach

Travel Story Susan & Wietze: exploring in Tanzania
Susan & Wietze: exploring in Tanzania
With only two weeks of vacation and our sights set on a destination "somewhere in Africa," we started looking for a travel company that could help us with that. We wanted to travel sustainably, to travel a lot with locals and preferably to places with few other tourists. Then we came in contact with Charlie's Travels.... - Susan & Wietze, Tanzania
