Namibia

Namibia offers a unique mix of endless dunes, wildlife, rugged coastlines, and serene emptiness. One of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, perfect for tranquillity and adventure!

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!

The land of endless views and vast plains

You step off the plane and breathe in the fresh Namibian desert air, and then it hits you: this country feels like one vast, surreal Dali painting. Welcome to Namibia, nestled along the wild west coast of Africa.

Namibia is renowned for its expansive Namib Desert and iconic sites such as Deadvlei, where ancient, skeletal trees stand in striking contrast to the red sand. The breathtaking colours and shapes of this place will stay with you for a long time.

But Namibia is so much more than just a desert. Explore the awe-inspiring Fish River Canyon, go kayaking on the Orange River, or spot the famous desert elephants in Damaraland. Immerse yourself in the country’s rich culture, from the vibrant Katutura district in Windhoek to the unforgettable Bushman Desert Tour in Namib-Naukluft.

With Charlie’s Travels, you’ll discover the most stunning self-drive routes and hidden gems of this untouched land. Our Namibia experts are ready to help you craft your dream journey!

In Namibia, the San community mainly lives in the Kalahari Desert, where they have developed a unique and fascinating way of life.

Citytour

Windhoek

Our local guide, Erick, will take you on a journey through Windhoek, sharing insights about its history and famous monuments. After that, he’ll bring you to Katutura, which literally means "the place where no one wants to live."

Perfect to combine with the following highlights

Etosha National Park

This is the place to spot extraordinary wildlife and discover spectacular landscapes.

Fish River Canyon

This winding canyon is every bit as impressive as its American big brother, especially since you won’t encounter crowds of tourists here!

Great young and ambitious travel company with boots on the ground in Africa. We travelled with them through South Africa and Namibia. They made great experiences/activities possible that we would never have discovered on our own otherwise. For the next trip to Africa, I will definitely contact them again.

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

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.
