Let us take you to the gorgeous Kikuletwa Hot Springs: a tranquil natural geothermal pool where you can relax, swim and dive, surrounded by lush vegetation and vibrant landscapes.
Your tour begins with our pickup service from central Arusha - from your accommodation or clock tower. (We can also pick you up from Moshi or hotels farther away for an additional fee to cover the extra fuel and time. Please discuss this with us.)
Next we will take you on the 1.5 hr drive to Kikuletwa Hot Springs, a.k.a. Chemka. The drive will be approximately 45 minutes on a smooth tarmac road, followed by 45 minutes on a dirt track, through semi-arid landscape until suddenly we reach the hidden and lush hot springs - a magical oasis hidden by lush greenery. The water of this natural spring is turquoise blue and crystal clear and invites you to a refreshing dive into water over 6 metres deep. Tiny fish swim in the water and offer the opportunity for natural massages, and a rope swing into the water gives the opportunity for an adrenaline-filled photo shoot. For those who are less confident swimmers, you can rent floating rings for just 10000tsh, or sit and relax on the submerged rocks at the edge of the hot springs.
We can chill here for a few hours, and enjoy an optional picnic lunch and drinks, before beginning the drive back to Arusha. We are flexible with timings, but the hot springs close at 6.30pm and we recommend making the journey back to Arusha before it gets dark.
