Chemka Hotwater Spring Day Trip

Kikuletwa Hot Springs

Tour Overview

Nestled amidst the Tanzanian savannah, Maji Moto, also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs, is a serene paradise that offers breathtaking views, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation. Often referred to as a Bounty-styled oasis, it’s the perfect escape after a Kilimanjaro hike or safari adventure.
Chemka Hot Springs is a rare natural wonder—one of the few places in Tanzania, and perhaps all of East Africa, where groundwater interacts with geothermal sources to form warm, pristine lakes with constantly flowing water. The purity of these springs rivals that of the most exclusive resorts, such as those in the Dominican Republic or the Maldives.
