The organisation for travels to Africa if you want a personal, amazing and special trip.
Everything we wanted was included in our trip. The communication before the trip and during the trip was really good, we could ask for anything! Charlie Travels made sure that we had the trip of our dreams!

Top notch planning and organization made for an unforgettable trip!
Had the most amazing trip trough Kenya organized by Charlie’s Travels! The expectations were so high at some point I thought it might never live up.. but instead the whole trip went above and beyond anything we could have imagined!!
Highly recommended!!!
The most beautiful roadtrip through Kenya!
Off the beaten track!
Our wish for the summer of 2019 was to make a roadtrip through Kenya. The two of us ... without a driver
and without a guide. It was not easy to find an organization that could help us with that.
It soon became clear to us that it is not usual to travel this way.
And then we found Charlie's Travels! Together with this great travel agency, and in our case
with Simone Langejan, we have put together a fantastic trip.
We travel all over the world and are quite critical ... but Simone helped us enormously
when selecting a car (Landrover!), compiling the route and finding the most original overnight places.
During this great trip, she and Dorcas (the Kenyan employee) were ready to immediately solve
the problems that came our way (this is Africa ... :)). Despite the (mostly) bad roads, the chaotic
traffic and the bad car that regularly let us down but thanks to the beautiful,
versatile country, the extremely friendly people and the enormous amount of wildlife, it was one of the best journeys ever!

Adventurous and professional
Charlie's travels organised our honeymoon in Tanzania. It was a great adventure and they were with us every step of the way. Simone was very professional and helped us to make the perfect program. We drove our own car, which was a great adventure. When we had a mechanical issue with the car they arranged everything and we didn't have to worry about it. Accommodations were great and probably not that easy to find if you would try to book it on your own. Communication and preparations are good.

Good knowledge of Kenia and very personal and warm communication.
My wife and I made a great trip through Kenya. Emiel and Kennedy had prepared everything to perfection and every day was an experience in itself. We have been to places where there are hardly any tourists and everywhere we are very warmly welcomed by the locals. No shortage of good food ;-)
We visited down town Nairobi with ex-street boys, sailed among the hippos, cycled between the zebras and giraffes, walked around local markets, read books and of course visited the Masai Mara.
Charlie's Travels is definitely recommended if you want to make a trip in Kenya. Next time by train to Mombasa ...

Flexible & professional
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!

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

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

fantastic 10-day trip starting and ending in Nairobi, via Mount Kenya to Nakuru and Naivasha. Kenya
Who: European family, 3 kids in the age of 2 - 5 year
What: fantastic 10-day trip starting and ending in Nairobi, via Mount Kenya to Nakuru and Naivasha. Kenya
When: May 31st - June 8th 2019
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!
