Amazing, cooperative, and advisory, with a feeling of being at home, as we became friends.
Agnes has created a remarkable travel agency that offers amazing experiences across Tanzania. Her deep knowledge of the country's landscapes, diverse cultures, and wildlife, combined with her commitment to providing personalized services, including accommodation, ensures that every trip feels enriching—like traveling with a friend or coming home.
She takes great care in ensuring that every aspect, from logistics to local accommodations and activities, is organized precisely. She also fosters strong relationships with local guides and vendors and can even offer accommodation, as she has a house with two separate rooms available for rent.
Agnes is warm, approachable, and a joy to work with. Her positive energy and enthusiasm make me feel great throughout the trip.
Therefore, I recommend her travel agency to anyone seeking to explore the wonders of Africa, as she is able to personally tailor the program and activities to meet travelers' needs.
As she has now become a dear friend, I helped her create the following videos, which feature photos and footage taken by another friend who used her services before me. Therefore, what you see in the video is what awaits you when you join her for an adventure.

Excellent service and guide
MoAfrica was an excellent Safari tour of Pilanesberg Park. Our guide Lethso was fabulous and extremely knowledgeable about the animals and fauna. My parents were hesitant and did not want to do a small safari but after were so pleased and wanted to do a longer version.

Customer care top notch and service delivery is as promised
I will never miss any of the trips they will be organising because I had the best experience in Fort Portal. The brunch in the wild was the best and most fun of my trip. Avents literally won my heart and don't expect me to change to any other tour operator. Apwoyo Matek

Big five mission accomplished
It was an amazing 6 day safari. We had the best guide David, the best driver Justin, the best chef Lazaro and the best coordinator Lazaro M. We managed to see the big five and much more. The tent accommodation was very nice and comfortable. A big thank you to all 4 of them and all the wonderful people of Tanzania. Akuna matata.

Trains + Lions + Local Culture = Dream fulfilled!
This trip was the perfect fit for the limited time we had (2 days) on the Tanzanian mainland. The newly electrified railway from the Dar es Salaam to the new capital Dodoma is up to US/EU standards - clean, comfortable, and well-serviced (no power outlets, but complementary water and snacks). The view is gorgeous (if you don't fall asleep - the ride is quite smooth). Definitely a worthwhile experience for a train-lover.
Our guide in the park was knowledgable and friendly. Mikumi National Park has a great density of animals -- we saw two prides of lions, dozens of giraffe, hundreds of Zebra and wildebeest, plus hippos, elephants, kudu, eland, warthogs, a crocodile, and a monitor lizard. You won't see rhinos (extinct in Tanzania), cheetahs (going to Serengeti for that), or leopards (rare), but all the other big famous wildlife are present. Great picture taking opportunities. The big advantage of booking a private safari is that you can decide how long to stay at a given spot (for instance, if this is your favorite animal) and can choose how long to stay in the park. In spite of our jetlag, we choose to spend nearly the entire day until sunset in the park, because the wildlife was so good.
The nature walk and the visit to the Maasai village were also worthwhile. Though socially conscious travelers may feel uncomfortable taking part in the commodification of Maasai culture, particularly when you are encouraged to put on Maasai clothing yourselves and join in the dances, the villagers are clearly consenting to your visit and are paid (the visit only takes up 30-60 minutes anyway and does not seem particularly disruptive). The tour guide for the nature walk was himself a Maasai who grew up in the city and received a higher education -- he gave us a valuable perspective on the Maasai and Tanzania overall.
The Kihindo Tours office staff were helpful and communicative throughout our booking a visit. They helped up find a hotel last minute and contact the manager, since we had forgotten to book something for the night after the tour. On the whole, this was a terrific company to work with.

Effective and wholesome experience
Raymond is an experienced guide and able to spot the animals even from far away. They have a strong network of guides over walkie talkie in the Mara to ensure you get good sightings - we managed to see all of the Big 5 including the elusive leopard.
We got the budget - private option with a jeep to ensure we could maximise the experience, but the budget accommodation itself is pleasant already and it’s more important for us to have full use of the jeep and free range of the vehicle to get 360 views without restriction and maximise space on the long drives between Nairobi and all the national parks
Be aware that any extras on the trip, i.e. extra tours, souvenirs from the locals etc that is beyond what Jocky provides can be overpriced, I tried one or two and didn’t feel good about spending the money vs what we were getting. The main value and experience is already in what Jocky includes and you would not miss much without the extras

Experienced, organized and efficient.
This was once in a lifetime experience, we (my GF and I) got the Private tour on budget Accomodation and we couldn’t be happier! Accomodation, food, service was efficient and greay. For the experience - They were abundant wildlife, beautiful landscapes and rich culture all around. I can’t be happier with my experience and big shout out to our guide Raymond. He was knowledgeable, caring, kind and accommodating to our time on the trip. We always felt safe, guided and cared for the entire trip. I recommend Jocky Tours and specifically Raymond to guide you if you’re on the fence. This is a very special life experience!
