Springs at Chemka

Moshi (a popular starting point for trekkers to Kilimanjaro) and Arusha, two of Tanzania’s top safari towns in the north, are where many visitors begin their excursions. Not only are these cities near large sites like Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti, but they are also rather close to a number of smaller ones.
After an exhilarating climb of Kilimanjaro or a safari in the Serengeti, you deserve some downtime. You are currently at the lodge in Moshi or Arusha, making preparations for your departure flight the next day. It could also happen the day you arrive, before you begin to check off locations on your schedule.
In any case, a day excursion to the Chemka hot springs, which are off the main road, can have an impact. This exciting journey will take you to a tranquil location, perfect for unwinding after a long travel or contemplating your recent experiences. We highly recommend it as one of the top day adventures from Moshi.
Near Moshi, Tanzania, you’ll find the natural spring oasis known as Chemka Hot Springs, which is also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs or Maji Moto. The spring, which is roughly 10 meters deep, is fed by rivers that run underneath. Its location, encircled by verdant woodland, enhances its already stunning beauty.

Kikuletwa Hot Springs: How to Get There

Kikuletwa is not accessible by public transportation. Nonetheless, alternatives such as boda-boda (motorbikes), dala dala (minibuses), and taxis are available. Plan your journey with ease by reserving a ride with us. No problem, we can transport you there.
From Moshi or Arusha, it takes two hours to reach Kikuletwa. Beautiful coffee and banana fields, indigenous communities, and distant vistas of Mount Kilimanjaro can all be seen along the trip.
There are two ways to get there: driving or using a private rental. A day excursion to Kikuletwa is occasionally included in the packages offered by some lodges.

Where should one go in Kikuletwa?

This vacation is ideal for those seeking both excitement and rest. You’ve been on lengthy journeys, rough safari drives, and difficult treks. Get out into nature now and unwind. Go see Kikuletwa, then. Here are some things we think you should do:

Taking a dip

You may swim and relax in the natural pool of Kikuletwa. You can relax and rejuvenate in the waters since they are delightfully transparent. With this clear water, you can see all the way to the bottom.

Aqua scuba

In the spring’s deeper sections, snorkeling and diving are both feasible. Through these activities, you may learn about the natural sanctuary’s exquisite splendor.
No prior diving experience is necessary; we promise that everyone will have a wonderful time at Chemka Spring. Among the many amenities included in our Maji Moto day trip packages is snorkeling gear.

Weaving ropes

Slinging from a sturdy rope over the bubbling spring waters is the object of this pastime. Landing in the water while releasing the rope is an exciting experience. That’s a delightful and entertaining thing.

Taking a bite out of food

To this location, please convey your lunchbox. Picnicking is allowed since the trees offer shade. On top of that, you won’t get the filtered oxygen that you’d get in a city because of all the traffic and noise.
Indulge on some refreshments. Another option is to have some chipsi mayai, a French fry omelette, or Mishkaki, a barbecue.

Getting pictures

The tranquil beauty of the area surrounding the springs is sure to inspire you to capture some photographs. Your photo will stand out against a backdrop of verdant woodland and stunning natural spring.
