Kikuletwa Hot Springs Day Trip
Overview
The Kikuletwa Hot Springs 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. This 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 we are called hot springs, the water in Kikuletwa is not truly ‘hot’ but refreshing, as the water source is fed by Kilimanjaro itself.
Enjoy a wonderful day in just the way you want, in the sun dozing, chatting with the locals at the small bar, or swimming - you determine the course of this day. At noon we will have a picnic lunch, and in the late afternoon, we return relaxed to Moshi.

What our Travelers are saying
Posted on Innocent KVerified Unforgettable Safari Experience with Afriswahili Adventure! Unforgettable Safari Experience with Afriswahili Adventure!I recently had the absolute pleasure of going on a safari with Afriswahili Adventure, and I can confidently say it was the trip of a lifetime! From the very beginning, the team was professional, attentive, and passionate about creating an authentic and unforgettable African experience.Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable—not just about the Big Five, but also about the culture, history, and landscapes of every region we visited. He had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and made sure we didn’t miss a moment, whether it was a pride of lions lounging in the grass or a herd of elephants crossing the savannah at sunrise.The accommodations were thoughtfully selected—comfortable, clean, and perfectly situated in stunning natural surroundings. Every detail was handled smoothly, from transportation to meals, and we always felt safe, informed, and well taken care of.What really stood out was how Afriswahili Adventure goes beyond the typical tourist experience. They’re deeply rooted in the local community, and it shows in the genuine, respectful way they engage with both the land and the people. You don’t just see Africa—you feel it.If you’re looking for a safari that combines adventure, authenticity, and heart, look no further. Afriswahili Adventure delivers an experience that will stay with you forever.Posted on Humphrey MVerified Amazing trip of my life My heart still beats to the rhythm of the African bush. The vast landscapes of Tanzania unfolded like a dream, each sunrise painting a new masterpiece. Witnessing the gentle giants roam free, the playful energy of the wildlife, and the quiet majesty of nature's raw beauty filled me with a profound sense of peace. It was more than just a trip; it was a deeply moving connection to something ancient and wild, a warmth that lingers long after the dust has settled. An unforgettable journey for the soul.

An adventure to remember their entire life. Today I am here to share with you one such adventure of mine. A Beautiful Giant 5895amsl free standing mountain over 6 days lemosho route.“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” Godliving Bayona, the best kilimanjaro mountain guide famously said. This is what mountain teaches us. We might seem like a puny ant in front of it but we can still dream to reach the top, however, far it might seem. It is this self-belief of reaching the top despite the insurmountable odds that makes mountains so special for me.An adventure is never complete without a partner in crime. I didn’t had 1 but 3. Three complete strangers from different parts of India whom I can now count as my dear friends. We not only hiked together but we shared our pains and happiness alike. This was one of the highest moments of this trip that I made 4 great friends for life. Happy hike Afriswahili hakuna matata😊Posted on Tochukwu OVerified TANZANIAN EXPERIENCE I am simply amazed by the beautiful works of nature.

Day 1: Kikuletwa Hot Springs
We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Moshi around 10 in the morning and drive for about 1,5 hours before we reach the Kikuletwa hot springs, also called Maji Moto hot springs or Chemka hot springs. We’ll drive you back around 4 in the afternoon, and everything you do in between is completely up to you.
Take a dip in the refreshing water (Surprise! The water’s not hot as you might have expected, as it comes directly from Kilimanjaro), walk around the surrounding area, and watch local boys jump from a rope into the water, showing some seriously impressive moves, or eat some chips mayai or chips kuku (an omelet with chips inside or chicken and chips) as you enjoy the shadow of the beautiful palm and fig trees.
The drive from and back to Moshi is beautiful in itself, as we already mentioned above. Part of it leads over a paved road, but the rest of the time you’ll be driving over dirt roads through the countryside. Dry riverbeds, baobab and acacia trees, tiny villages, Maasai with their cattle, and old broken railways determine the scenery.
