Tanzania, through the eyes of its daughters
Bespoke luxury safaris across Tanzania and East Africa, planned by hand and guided from our home in Arusha.
A family company, run by women who were born to this landscape, not visiting it.
Founded in 2022 by Amanda and Asnath Kessy, sisters raised in northern Tanzania. Every itinerary is drawn by hand from Arusha, and every departure is led by our own guides.
We run fully women-only safaris on request, guided by multilingual female guides in English, Swahili, French and Spanish.

Sisters. Co-founders. Born and raised in Tanzania, and still the two people who sign off on every itinerary that leaves our office.
What could have been a slightly stressful first safari with five little ones turned into such a beautiful and memorable family experience. We highly recommend Still Waters Safaris and would, without hesitation, use them again.Zeno LaswaiGoogle, 2026
