Charlie's Travels DMC

Authentic, off the beaten track adventures in East Africa! At Charlie’s Travels DMC, we don’t just sell experiences—we create them from the ground up. We explore East Africa ourselves, traveling by motorbike and 4x4, meeting local communities, and discovering hidden gems that no one else offers. That’s how we develop unique, off the beaten track itineraries that go beyond traditional safaris and mass tourism.

What we offer as a DMC

We provide end-to-end travel solutions for tour operators and travel agencies looking to expand their offerings in Kenya and the rest of East Africa. Our expertise ensures seamless logistics, unique accommodations, and safe, unforgettable travel experiences.

Trusted partners with 10+ years of experience

At Charlie’s Travels DMC, we believe that a trip is only as good as the people who bring it to life. That’s why we work with handpicked local guides at every destination—partners we’ve trusted for years to deliver unforgettable experiences.

Our guides are more than just experts; they are storytellers, cultural ambassadors, wildlife enthusiasts, and destination specialists who share their deep knowledge and passion for East Africa. Whether leading a safari through the Maasai Mara, guiding a hike in the Usambara Mountains, or introducing travelers to local communities, they ensure every trip is immersive, insightful, and truly authentic.

Safe & reliable transport

We provide well-maintained 4x4 vehicles for self-drive trips or guided safaris with experienced local driver-guides. This includes a wide range of options, from extended land cruisers and safari vans to Prados and other 4x4’s, ensuring the perfect fit for every traveler and adventure.

Unique, locally owned accommodations

We partner with locally owned small lodges, boutique stays, and community-based accommodations that provide authentic experiences while directly benefiting local economies.

Personal communication & custom itineraries

A dedicated account manager, with extensive experience living in the destinations we offer, ensures smooth coordination, quick responses, and tailored itineraries based on your clients' needs.
