In 2014, the African adventure of our very own Charlie and the founder of Charlie’s Travels, Charles Witlox, began in Kenya. As Kenya serves as the home base for much of our team, we’re intimately familiar with all of its hidden gems. Over the years, we’ve crafted routes and activities that you won’t find anywhere else. And, okay, we might be just a tad biased, but believe us when we say that Kenya is an incredibly beautiful and diverse country. From nature and wildlife to mountains, hills, vibrant tribes, tropical beaches, bustling cities, and charming villages – Kenya has it all!

Kenya is a surprisingly diverse country! Within an hour drive from the capital city Nairobi, you’ll find the lushest tea fields; another hour further, you’re suddenly driving across vast savannas or standing on the shores of Lake Naivasha and doing a staring contest with hippos. From breathtaking nature to inspiring culture, the indigenous peoples let you experience this country in its purest form and will broaden your worldview.
But Kenya is also one of Africa’s most beloved safari destinations for a reason. This country is home to the world’s most beautiful natural parks, teeming with wildlife. You can tick off those Big Five!
And did you know that in Kenya you also have the most stunning white beaches, along the dazzling, azure Indian Ocean?
In short, Kenya has all the ingredients to experience the real Africa. We have discovered the most beautiful routes and hidden gems and would love to show them to you. Questions? Our Kenya specialists are more than happy to assist you: request a free travel proposal or send a Whatsapp!
Sustainable travel. You are hip and totally anno 2023 when you travel sustainably. No wonder sustainable and responsible travel is hot and happening. But how do you do it? How do you make sure your intentions match your actions? Below we list a few points on how you can make your trip to Kenya as sustainable as possible.
As our colleagues have built a life here, space has also opened up for making lasting connections. Connections that have grown into great partnerships!
We work closely with local partners so that your hard-earned pennies go to local people and not Henk from Amsterdam who has twenty-five hotel chains to his name.
With our 4×4 or motorcycle under the bum, we are always looking for new experiences. Not only fun for you, but also for the locals.
We work with local partners with small-scale accommodations, so the money you pay for an overnight stay actually stays in the country where you stay. This way you help the local economy to a higher level.
To keep your ecological footprint as small as possible, we offset your CO2 emissions. To achieve this, we work with several local partners who join us in striving for a greener world.
Flying from Nairobi to Mombasa? Did you know you can also go by train? Six hours of the most amazing views and also kind to the globe.
The most unique, exhilarating and challenging adventures are, of course, not something we dream up from behind our desks. That’s why we started the Africa Inside Out project. With a car full of content creators, cameras, drones and laptops, we crisscrossed Kenya. Here we worked with the locals to map out new routes for you. We captured all this in over 20 videos and blogs! Below you can see the summary videos of the two Kenya chapters: Railway Stories and Northern Conservancies. Using the buttons below you can find more videos and blogs where we elaborate on the topics from these videos. Check them out!
The team lives and works all over Africa and therefore has a lot of first-hand knowledge and experience.
Wherever Charlie and his team travel, they develop new routes and experiences together with local entrepreneurs.
We tailor each trip based on your wishes and our African knowledge. Everything is possible and nothing is too crazy! Give us a try?
Charlie’s Travels works together with local partners and contributes to CO2 projects to offset environmental pollution.
