Day Trip
Kikuletwa Hot Springs—also commonly known as Chemka Hot Springs—is one of the most beautiful natural attractions near Moshi, Tanzania. It is a crystal-clear geothermal oasis surrounded by fig trees and lush vegetation.
Tour Overview
This vast area, which used to be a hunting ground for Europeans during the 1800s, is home to members of many different tribes, peacefully co-existing as neighbors. Although the game has long since migrated, it is still a haven for many animal species, including a variety of birds. When you reach Kikuletwa it will appear as an oasis surrounded by sprawling fig trees, in the middle of this semi-arid landscape. You will see crystal clear water bubbling from underground caves, giving the impression that it is boiling, hence the name “Hot-springs”.

The water is perfectly refreshing and if you brought your bathing suit, this is your time to take a dip and relax in the shade of the trees. After a picnic lunch, we will start making our way back to Moshi via back gravel roads, taking you past the Kilavu River and sugar cane plantations for about 30 minutes before arriving back in Moshi late afternoon.
