globetrot2025-01-05Verified The best decision we made for our entire trip! Booking our trip with Charles Tours was the best decision we made for our trip. Charles is kind, personable, and overall a great host. He made sure to cross off all the animals we wanted to see on the safari, was very knowledgeable to the point that he could tell us a bird by it's call alone, and booked fantastic stays in the Serengeti and Karatu. Additionally, he was flexible and let us book a day hike on Mt. Kilaminjaro last minute. He made sure to provide healthy, hot lunches that accommodated my dietary restrictions (vegan) and went out of the way to make sure we had transportation in Zanzibar even though he had no obligation to help us on the next leg of our trip. What I appreciate most about our Safari with Charles is how attentive he was to our needs. He watches carefully and knows exactly when we were tired and when we were more attentive, and engaged with us accordingly. Charles made our trip memorable and I would recommend booking with him! Kieran Potter2024-10-24Verified Joel, our tour guide, was incredibly professional. Joel, our tour guide, was incredibly professional, on time, private, knowledgeable, and amiable! The tour itself was incredible; the Chagga people, the waterfall, and the homemade coffee were all incredible. I heartily suggest this experience to everyone. George Q2024-10-18Verified We thoroughly enjoyed the well-organised tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the well-organised tour. Our driver was really friendly and gave us a lot of information about the various animals. The five-star* lodge where we stayed was quite cosy. Our contact person, Innocent, was really kind to us by providing us with a backup food as our flight return was rescheduled. Many thanks for everything. It was a dream! It was a lot of fun. Charles Jock2024-10-15Verified The Charles Tours staff was incredibly gracious. The Charles Tours staff was incredibly gracious and honest with us, and they were always there to help. Thanks to our driver and guide Joel, we had an amazing two-day safari tour and saw a lot of amazing new things. He painstakingly went into great detail about the animals, the environment, and the culture. The automobile was excellent, and the communication was excellent as well. These folks have my highest recommendation. Ben Watson2024-10-14Verified I highly recommend Charles Tours. The picnic area where we had lunch was beautiful and clean, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all delicious thanks to the efforts of our chef. If you're looking for a safari experience that you won't soon forget, I highly recommend Charles Tours and our guide Jonas. We saw a variety of animals, including buffaloes, zebras, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and several birds. Victor S2024-09-20Verified An Unforgettable 10-Day Safari with Charles Tours – Highly Recommended! We had an unforgettable 10-day safari experience with Charles Tours!The team was exceptional from start to finish. Amani carefully listened to our preferences and crafted a safari itinerary that perfectly matched our desires, blending visits to national parks, a Maasai village, and a scenic hike to breathtaking waterfalls. Everything was flawlessly organized. Our guide, Amani, was not only professional and knowledgeable but also warm and attentive throughout the trip. The 4x4 vehicle was comfortable and well-maintained, the lunches were delicious, and the chosen accommodations were excellent.Amani, the owner, personally welcomed us and remained available for anything we needed during our stay. His hospitality truly made a difference.I wholeheartedly recommend Charles Tours and would not hesitate to choose them again for a future visit to Tanzania! glennaj20152024-06-18Verified Summited Mt. Kilimanjaro! Thanks for the unforgettable experience, Amani Charles! My daughter and I just returned from the trip of a lifetime in Tanzania, organized and hosted by Amani Charles of Charles Tours. We went to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, but Amani organized so much more for us. He picked us up at Kilimanjaro Airport—a two-hour return trip from Arusha. The next day, we began our acclimatization by hiking partway up Mt. Meru. We had no idea that, afterwards, Msuri, our guide, would take us on a half-day safari in Arusha National Park. He even called ahead to make sure the elephants showed up ... well, not really ...but 40 elephants made a rare appearance, along with giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, wildebeests, baboons, monkeys and much more. The next eight days were the most memorable as we trekked, hiked, scrambled and climbed up Mt. Kilimanjaro with two expert guides (Msuri and Emmanuel) and eleven porters dedicated to the two of us. Each morning began with Humphry serving tea to us in our tent, followed by a hot breakfast in our own separate dining tent. We'd set off at 8:00 and the porters would break camp, pass us along the way, and have everything set up and a hot lunch prepared when we arrived at the next camp. The views were spectacular. The staff were kind, thoughtful, and friendly. The food was fabulous. Our tent was warm and comfortable. Msuri and Emmanuel helped us navigate the sometimes difficult terrain and ensured we hydrated and rested along the way so we could handle the increasing altitude. We reached the summit on May 24. Three days later, I turned 68 years old. And I know that I would not have been able to do this without Amani's able staff guiding us, cooking for us and making sure we had every possible comfort and convenience along the way. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer as the parks we visited subsequent to our climb were also amazing. The bonus was that Amani joined us for our day at the Ngorongoro Crater. This is where you can see the Great Rift on the horizon. Amani reminded me that it was Mary Leaky ( and not her husband Richard) who discovered the fossil that proved the link between apes and Homo Sapiens. The Great Rift is where humankind began, so we all have a deep connection with this region. I intend to return to Tanzania, soon; hopefully, my husband will come. I want to explore more of the Ngorongoro Crater and visit the museum and view the artifacts that explain the Great Rift and how our ancestors evolved. And I will definitely be booking with Charles Tours. Thanks so much, Amani, for giving my daughter and me an experience we will never forget. Sherwin D2024-06-01Verified Most Memorable Trip of my Life A little background: my Rutgers peers and I went on a trip to Tanzania from New Jersey. Amani and Jonas gave us a one of a kind experience showing us the beauty of Tanzania. I was absolutely astonished by the personalized gems they showed and talked to us about along the routes. Amani did an AMAZING job arranging the hotels and restaurants around Karatu, Ngorongoro, and the Arusha area and would go above and beyond to help us with any issues. This was the best learning and tour experience I ever had and I wish nothing but an expansion of this wonderful business. Charles tours is my top recommend for anyone looking to visit Tanzania. I hope to stay in touch with Amani for future travels with my family.All love,Sherwin D. Temitope O2024-05-30Verified 100% the best international experience I’ve ever had and will forever recommend Never ever in my life will I stop talking about Amani Charles or my experience. When I first arrived I told myself “oh this give Rwanda vibes” and I assumed I’d have a similar time to what I experience before but NOPE! I was unbelievably and wonderfully and pleasantly and jaw-droppingly surprised at how great of an experience I had. I never write reviews for things because it felt corny but I need for anyone who will listen (or read) to know that Charles Tours is the BEST decision you can make when traveling to Tanzania!Not only did Charles Tours have a deep commitment to making sure we were happy and engaged, each day is filled with such a unique experience that keeps you on your toes and desiring more and more. We were here for 2 weeks and that still wasn’t enough time for me to soak in all that Charles Tours and Tanzania had to offer.As a regular international traveler, I always go for work and then sight see for the cool things in the area but BOY OH BOY, the Charles Tours team makes me want to live in Tanzania which I’ve never experienced before.100% I’ll be back and booking through Charles Tours again! I want the fun and personal connection again and again and again. Manju Patel2024-03-19Verified Charles Tours Charles Tours made our holiday one to remember in a life time.
