Great adventure for the whole family!
It was the first Africa experience for my family and it was a great succes. We travelled throughout Uganda, which is a incredible beautiful country, with my wife and two sons of 10 and 8 years old. Uganda with its kind people will be in our harts forever! Charly Travels had organized a great trip and we are thankful for that.
What will be our next destination in Africa?

Super well organised tour operator that has great communication and gives you a flawless experience.
My trip to Kenya was such a fantastic experience! It was my first time going to Kenya and I figured it would be wise getting things organised beforehand. Normally I travel by myself and I arrange everything myself so I was a bit worried that it would be a typical organised tour. However, Sanne (travel agent) helped me to create my very own itinerary that was based on my needs, budget, interests. Everything was so well organised and the communication throughout the journey was flawless (thanks to the lovely local Ruth that works from their Nairobi office). But I still felt like I had all the flexibility and time to do whatever I wanted to do. I love the fact that they book unique locations and tours that I would have never seen or have heard of if I wouldn't have booked my trip through Charlie's Travel. Thank you for the once in a lifetime experience!!

Above expectations!
Good organization to travel with. The upfront communication was open, clear and informative. The activities and safari's lived up to our expectations and beyond. Partners are professional and knowledgeable.

Wel organised trip that gave us a wonderful impression of Kenia.
Good advise how and where to travel, an app for communication during the travel, very effective.
We had several safari's (boat, bike, car), very varied and overwhelmingly seen many animals, also de big 5.
The landscapes where wonderfull, the lodges where good and on nice locations.
We can recommand Charlie's travel very much. They made sure we've seen a lot of different places, and we've stayed at special locations

Solo safari trip
I had a great week of exploring a small part of Kenya.
I visited Mt. Suswa and stayed here with a local Masai family. This was the best experience and not touristic at all! I also did a shared group safari to the Masai Mara. Stayed close to the entrance of the park and it was beautiful. And I went on a motorbike safari around Amboseli and I did a private safari to Amboseli.
The motorbike safari around Amboseli was a dissapointment. I barely saw any animals and the animals were also scared of the motorbike so I would not recommend that activity.
I had a wonderdul week and I would recommend charlies travel to organise your trip. Everything was clear and well arranged. Also the daily communication trough whatsapp was good. It's a little bit expensive but it was definitely worth it!

A great private honeymoon experience in Kenya!
We had such a great time in Kenya. Thank you very much Charlie's travel for helping us organize this part of our honeymoon trip.
We didn't have so much time in Kenia but because of Charlie's we made the most of all the 5 days we had here. From visiting Sheldrick Elephant orphanage, downtown Nairobi with the locals and motorcycle safari in Amboseli National Park. The highlight was flying to Amboseli with a small plane where we saw Mount Kilimanjaro, elephants from the sky and zebra's crossing the landing strip!
Every bit of the trip was so well arranged and because it was our honeymoon we had everything private which was really nice. Thanks again for the great adventures, we'll never forget this experience!

Careless and perfect holiday
We have had a wonderful holiday in Kenya, thanks to Charlie's Travels.
We had very specific request (climbing Mt. Kenya, safari and kitesurfing in Diani Beach) in relatively short time period. Only because of the perfect planning and organisation by Charlie's Travels, we were able to fulfill these requests.
Our travel schedule was perfectly custom made, all transfers and drivers were reliable and on time.
The booked accommodations were amazing, especially the 'specials' in Nairobi (that we would have never found by ourselves).
During our trip, Emiel and Brenda were always ready for support or advise.
I had such a great trip. There were even things arranged between days filled with activities
I had such a blast with Charlie’s Travels! Since I was solo traveling, visiting family in Kenya and wanted to go “off the beaten track” in Kenya and Tanzania, Charlie’s was the best choice for me. I’ve seen and done more than expected. Beside the safari I had a great time during the hike and motorbike trip with Maasai through their holy land. Sanne and Erick took care of everything, including transfers and accommodations for the days between and after the activities when I was relaxing on Zanzibar. Extra thanks to these two people who made my trip totally complete!!! Asante sana na nitakuona wakati mwingine ;)

Personal 1 on 1 help throughout your trip and very off the track and special tours!
I chose to travel with Charlie's travels, because they offer some tours you can't do anywhere else. Because of this i felt like I was the only tourist around during some parts of my travels (Taita Hills for an example). Then you know you are doing something really special!
Charlie's Travels helped me book every trip I wanted to do on a very tight schedule. They were flexible and always reply within a maximum of a few hours.
Because they give you a simcard when you land, they stay in touch even throughout your trip. They asked me how I was doing and wanted genuine feedback on how I experienced things. This made me feel like a wasn't even a customer to them, but almost like a friend. It's a very nice way to deal with your customers and I hope they will continue this!
