Silence. Space. Soul.
This is True Luxury.
Forget gold taps and marble floors. In Tanzania, luxury is a private sunrise over the Ngorongoro Crater, a guide who knows your name, and the freedom to pause when the world rushes by.
Redefining the Safari Experience
The word "safari" means "journey" in Swahili. But in recent years, it has often become a race—a checklist of animals seen from a crowded jeep.
At Still Waters Safaris, we are reclaiming the original spirit of the safari. As a female-owned, Tanzanian family business, we define luxury differently. It is not about excess; it is about access. Access to untouched landscapes, access to authentic culture, and access to a stillness that restores the soul.

Explore NgorongoroWhen to Experience Tanzania?
Tanzania is a year-round destination, but the "best" time depends on your vision of luxury.
- Dry Season (June - October)Ideal for the Great Migration river crossings and high-density wildlife viewing. The days are sunny and the nights are cool.
- Green Season (November - May)Our founder's favorite. The landscape is lush, the crowds are gone, and it is calving season for the wildebeest. Perfect for photography and privacy.
Common Questions about Luxury Safaris
What makes a safari "Luxury"?
True luxury in Tanzania is defined by exclusivity. It means private conservancies where off-road driving is permitted, camps with only 6-8 tents for intimacy, and guides who are among the best naturalists in Africa.
Can I customize my itinerary?
Absolutely. At Still Waters Safaris, every journey is bespoke. We start with a blank canvas and paint your itinerary based on your interests—whether that's tracking rhinos on foot, hot air ballooning at sunrise, or sleeping under the stars.
Is it safe to travel to Tanzania?
Tanzania is one of the safest and most politically stable countries in Africa. On a luxury safari, you are in the care of expert guides and staff from the moment you land until you depart.
