Hidden in the heart of a semi-arid landscape, surrounded by sprawling fig trees, the Kikuletwa Hot Springs (also known as Chemka Hot Springs) is a true natural oasis. Its crystal-clear, turquoise waters bubble up from underground springs, creating the perfect spot for swimming, relaxation, and fun.
This is an ideal day trip for travelers looking to unwind after a Kilimanjaro climb, safari adventure, or simply escape for a refreshing day in nature. Along the way, enjoy stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru (on clear days),
charming villages, and Tanzania’s beautiful countryside.
