We had a wonderful trip, “made by” Charlie’s Travels thanks to the great advice from this company. All our wishes came true. Beautiful accommodations, unique experiences, the best driver ever, and everything we hoped for!

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 chose Charlie’s Travels because we had quick and good contact with them, we got a good plan right away that appealed to us, it is a Dutch organisation that is on the ground AND they have a good reputation.

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.

We definitely recommend Charlie’s Travels! They organised a great self-drive for us through South Africa, Mozambique and Eswatini. Communication before, during and after the trip was smooth: everything was very clear and they responded very quickly. We had a fantastic trip!

Together with Charlie’s Travels and my fellow board members, I discovered South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique in 2.5 weeks. Sleeping in tents on the beach or in the wilderness, hiking through Swaziland, Ocean Safari, Game drives, this trip had it all. I recommend everyone to let Charlie’s Travels help you find the perfect trip!

Kenya

Kenya Mighty Nature, the Big Five, and vibrant kenyan tribes

Kenya is for the traveler who wants to experience it all. Enjoy motorcycle adventures in Magadi, spot zebras from the back of a horse, or climb the rock walls of Mount Kenya.

Uganda

Tarzan jungles, green cityscapes and mountain gorillas

From gorilla trekking to a motorbike ride past temples and mosques in green Kampala. Uganda has been crowned the Pearl of Africa for a reason. Ready to discover it for yourself?

Botswana

Salt pans, mokoro boat trips and endless savannahs

Safari paradise with a slightly more luxurious edge. Explore the Okovango Delta in a boat made of a hollowed-out tree trunk, spot the big five from the air (!) and come face to face with rhinos.

Not to be missed

Self-drive adventure through magical Namibia

Wow, Namibia's landscapes are epic and you will experience it all your own way on this trip. Ultimate freedom! Complement your trip with a hike through Damaraland, a kayaking trip in a river canyon or go mountain biking through the desert.
