A short but bumpy drive from Moshi are the clear, turquoise waters of the Kikuletwa (Chemka) Hot Springs, an oasis of geothermal warmth that bubbles up from underground. Surrounded by lush forest alive with birdsong and the call of monkeys, the Kikuletwa (Chemka) Hot Springs is an ideal place to ease those tired legs after a strenuous ascent up Kilimanjaro also those like swimming. There it's like a little bit of heaven that’s perfect for a day trip, and those warm blue waters invite you to linger, swim or explore. Return refreshed, revitalized and relaxed to your hotel.

We will pick you up in the morning. The ride to the hot springs takes about an hour and leads partly over bumpy slopes. Dried river beds, baobab and acacia trees accompany us on our way.

The hot springs of Kikuletwa, also known as Chemka Hot Springs, are close to the village of Rundugai and are one of the most beautiful places in Tanzania to relax. The small pond is surrounded by palm and fig trees with winding roots. In the morning, Blue Monkeys can often be observed in the trees, whilst the crystal clear, turquoise water invites you to a refreshing bath.

Although they are called hot springs, the water in Kikuletwa is not truly ‘hot’ but refreshing, as the water source is fed by Kilimanjaro itself.

At noon we will have a picnic lunch, and in the late afternoon we return relaxed to your place of choice being to your hotel in Moshi or Kilimanjaro Airport for those have flight same day.
