Great adventure and roadtrip to undiscovered places!
I went on a trip with 10 friends to Kenia. Charlies travels planned and organized a vacantion that suited just great to our wishes and expectations. The trip was well organized, the guide fitted the group and together we discovered hidden pearls of Kenia. I would recommend Charlies travels to everybody.

Perfect
We would definitely recommend Charlie's Travels! They organised a great self-drive for us through South Africa, Mozambique and Eswatini. Communication before, during and after went smoothly: everything was very clear and they responded very fast. They were also very flexible to edit the route to our specific wishes. We had a fantastic trip!

Good personal service with off the beaten track travel
Before the trip we had good communication with the travel agency by whatsapp and email. Safaritours were great in different settings of the country (kenya) and during the trip there was also good communication. We were offered lots of different trips with a motorbike tour and a good hike up Mt O’lolokwe, which we hardly saw any other tourist!

We had a great time in Kenia!!!
We had a great time in Kenia!!! I have cancer and it was a dream to still go on safari with my friend and my daughter of 7 years old. Charley's Travel organised our trip very well. They listened to our dreams and made them come true. Everything went perfect! What an unique experience! Emiel and Ruth were always available during our trip when needed. They understood what was important for us and made it happen, we never needed to worry. Because of working with Charley's travel we were able to see a lot of amazing places, always had the right drivers, nice, safe and on time and for the first 6 days we got an amazing driver guide with us, Jerry, he became our friend. Thank you all for everything!

Charlie's Travels has been a very good and kind tour operator
Charlie's Travels make's sure that you and them together design a trip that fits your needs. They are pretty flexible in planning the trip and have a lot more options than other travel agencies. I met a lot of travelers who weren't familier with the places i went to, most peopled follow the more 'touristy' route. I loved it to be in place with less (foureign) tourist and more locals. The communication before my trip and on my trip were very good. They made sure that everything was going alright with me. I would highly recommend this company for anyone who is traveling on his/her own!

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!
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 ;)

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.

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!

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!
