CHARLIES TRAVEL, ASENTE!
5/5

We had 2.5 awesome weeks in Kenya. We did a lot of wonderful safari's and the personal service was perfect. When our car broke down in Ambesoli, our contact Erick helped us within minutes (when we were in the middle of nowhere).Charlies Travel made a trip especially and custom made for us, off the beaten track. We had an awesome trip and at the end we spent some time relaxing at Watamu and Diani Beach. Beautiful! Thank you very much!
We would definitely recommend Charlies Travel!!

5/5

The whole trip is managed very well by Charlies Travels.
Really cool roadtrip through Kenya with different National Parcs. All accomodations and parc fees were included, that was really nice.
Communication with Charlies Travels was great. We also received a SIM-card so we could keep in touch with them! It worked out very well!
Charlies Travels has a high service level of customerservice! always availlable and always friendly!
We have booked two weeks of Safari. The first week was selfdriving and the second week was groupsafari Maasai Mara combined with gamedrives in other National Parcs. We loved the combinations of selfdriving and organized safari!!!
In the Maasai Mara we saw the Big 5! Amazing!

Charlies Travels knows Kenya very well. You will visit really cool places, you otherwise not will see.
They really good in tailor-made trips!

Fonda Ruiter, as part of Charlie’s travel team, has done an amazing job in putting together a trip for a young family. From A-Z everything was taken care off, we have been driving around ourselves and has been the best experience ever. It has not been a standard trip, fully customized basis our family needs and not touristic at all. Proactive communication, customer centric and being available 24/7 gave us really the feeling of being taken care off. We enjoyed the beautiful views on the tea slopes of Mount Kenya, the changing landscapes while moving around and the friendliness of everyone we met.

We have been staying in kids friendly places with lots of activities (from horse riding, visiting waterfalls to a nice bush walk) and beautiful nature. Friendly staff in each of the lodges, easy to navigate and safe to drive around yourself.

All in all, the personal touch of Fonda and Brenda (logistics) have made this trip one of a kind, a life time experience for us as a family with great memories. The kids experienced their first wildlife moments with lots of game to spot and have been talking about it for weeks! Value for money, thanks a lot!

Best trip ever! Great organization and Charlie's Travels showed us the real African experience!
5/5

This summer we planned our honeymoon (during high season) with Charlie's Travels. Normally we plan all our trips ourselves, but since we heard such great stories and we were already planning and stressing about our big day we loved to give our honeymoon trip out of our hands. It was the BEST choice ever!! We didn't want the standard Africa trip with only a safari's but really experience the real Africa. They really helped us out to make te right choices so we didn't had the feeling at all it was high season. We discovered cool city's, did all kinds of cool safari's - on the bike for example, went hiking, sleep with the Masaai and we'd really get to know the African culture and along the way they booked the most fun and romantic accomodations for us.

Simone really put together a great variously trip and it was really off the beaten track. We did things that we wouldn't do if we planned the trip ourselves, and in the end they were the most unforgettable experiences.

For (in my opinion) a really honest price they help you with literally everything!! They have really cool guides they work with and they showed us the REAL African experience in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. They keep in touch with you along the way, help you with tips and reservations (big thanks to Simone & Kennedy)!

Long story short: if you want the real african deal, you really should book your trip with Charlie's Travels.

Charlie's Travels made an amazing experience for our family in Kenya happen!
5/5

Charlie's Travels is focused on giving you an experience. We experienced a lot! Ofcourse the more wellknown safaris but also places we wouldn't have found ourselves. For us and the children a trip to never forget.
We were really surprised by the great communication, the service our contacts at Charlies Travels delivered.
Daily updates about the next day, support when needed, also direct actions were undertaken when needed. We felt great support during our trip.

Flexible & professional
5/5

Travelling through Kenia with the assistance of Charlie's Travels was such a joy. We were on a self drive journey but every time one of their guides joined, it was a true pleasure. when our travel plans had to change on short term notice, Charlie's did everything in their power to help us adjust our bookings. Tastes like more, we love Africa!
