Kikuletwa (Chemka) Hot Springs

Maji Moto, known locally as Kikuletwa Hot springs, is paradisiac oasis amidst the Tanzanian savannah, offers captivating, Bounty-styled views, crystal-clean water and dense vegetation around. Located in 2-hour drive from Moshi (Tanzania) – the main climbing hub of the region – Chemka Hot Springs is the best place to visit after a Kilimanjaro hikeor a safari adventure.    

Chemka oasis is a unique phenomenon – it is the only place in Tanzania (and most likely in the whole East Africa), where the groundwater actively interacted with geothermal sources, forming a number of small lakes with warm, never-stagnating water, which purity is not inferior to the best Dominican or Maldivian resorts. 

Located about 1 hour from Moshi, you will drive by the dry land of the Maasai before arriving at a beautiful green forest. Hidden among the twisting fig trees, lies the natural warm water spring, ideal for swimming and relaxing.
