Off the paths together in search of adventure

Creating memories you'll never forget is our goal. Africa offers the perfect balance of adventure, cultural experiences, and relaxation, making it an ideal destination for lovebirds of all ages. Couples from their late 20s to our 60+ lovebirds are thrilled with their honeymoons or vacations with their partner!

Imagine driving a rugged 4x4 across the savanna and catching a stunning red-and-gold sunset just in time. Back at camp, a campfire awaits, where you'll enjoy a three-course dinner as the jungle comes alive around you. Satisfied, you'll lie in a luxurious safari tent, cuddled up and listening to the mysterious sounds of the night.

After these adventures, you can unwind on Africa's breathtaking eastern and southern coastlines. No large hotels with buffets, but unique accommodations like a sailboat or beachfront villa, complete with a chef preparing freshly caught fish.

With endless possibilities for beautiful hikes, from Kilimanjaro to the hidden gems of Mt. Kenya and the Rwenzori Mountains, Africa is the perfect honeymoon destination. For more inspiration, read Geraldine Kemper's review of her trip to Kenya with her partner.

What our travellers say about us

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.

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!

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!

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!!!

My husband and I drove from Uganda to Rwanda and then on to Kenya. On several occasions, we were accompanied by a guide who spoke excellent English and was eager to share stories about their country or the places we visited. Five stars for Charlie’s!

Frequently asked questions

Have questions about planning your dream trip with your partner? Here you'll find answers to frequently asked questions, so you can create unforgettable memories in Africa together!

What should you consider when choosing a destination?

When choosing a destination as lovebirds, it's important to consider what you want to experience together, like hiking, kitesurfing, or a safari. Also think about the number of travel days, as long distances can impact feasibility. We're happy to help you make the best choice!

Driving yourself or hiring a driver?

We're fans of self-driving in a 4x4 as it provides freedom and adventure. However, navigation can also be stressful. If that's a concern, a local driver is an excellent option. They can share insights about the culture and best spots along the route so you can fully enjoy your trip.

What about malaria?

Malaria exists in many parts of Africa, but with some precautions you can still travel safely. Think protective clothing at dawn/dusk and using DEET. Get advice from your healthcare provider before departure. We also select accommodations with mosquito nets.

Is it safe to travel in Africa?

All our Africa destinations are safe for you and your partner. Just avoid wandering after dark and educate yourself on any high-risk areas. Also be mindful of different driving behaviors in Africa - drive cautiously. If you do get a flat tire, most Africans are very helpful!
