Highlights

What makes this tour unique is the balance between adventure and relaxation. After an early morning pickup from your hotel or airport, we drive through scenic rural villages and open savannah until we reach this serene geothermal spring. Unlike traditional hot springs, the water here is warm and bubbling due to underground volcanic activity, making it a perfect natural jacuzzi. Whether you want to swim, swing into the water from rope swings, soak in the warm current, or simply relax under the shade of trees, Kikuletwa delivers a peaceful and rejuvenating experience. The site is also great for photography and picnicking. It is an experience that brings you close to nature, this trip stands out as the perfect way to unwind and connect with Tanzania’s natural beauty.

Itinerary

  1. Your unforgettable day begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha, Moshi, or directly from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). After a warm welcome and a short briefing by your driver-guide, you'll embark on a scenic drive through the stunning landscapes of northern Tanzania. As you journey through the rural countryside, passing small villages and open savannah, you'll eventually reach the hidden oasis of Kikuletwa Hot Springs—also known as Chemka. Tucked between twisting fig trees and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this natural geothermal pool offers the perfect setting to relax, swim, and soak in the warm, refreshing waters. The spot is ideal for both families and adventurers seeking a peaceful escape. After a refreshing day in this tranquil paradise, you'll drive back to Arusha (or Moshi), arriving in the late afternoon. Depending on your travel plans, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or transferred directly to the airport for your onward flight.
