Kikuletwa Hot Springs
Duration: Full day
Crystal clear waters and leafy palms are what await all who travel to the stunning Kikuletwa Hot Springs.
If you're in the mood for a day trip off the beaten path where tourists and locals mingle, look no further.
After an adventurous two hour road trip crossing lush African landscapes, the little oasis of the Kikuletwa Hot Springs appears. It’s the perfect place to relax at the end of your Tanzania adventure, or to recharge your batteries before your next one!
Take a refreshing dip in the beautifully clear water that flows from a series of ancient underground caves. Simply enjoy basking in the pool’s blue waters or, if you‘re feeling more adventurous, you can take a leap from the rope swing that hangs at the water's edge. You can take inspiration from the locals’ impressive jumps if you dare - they have some serious moves!
After you’re done swimming, enjoy a tasty picnic provided by us or sample some of the local food cooked fresh for you by local vendors. Our personal favorite is chips mayai, a delicious chip omelette. Make the most of this idyllic spot with a post lunch walk in the shadows of the beautiful palm and fig trees that surround the pool.
On the way back to the car, as you are approaching the main road, keep your eyes open because every so often the clouds part and you can catch a glimpse of the iconic Mt. Kilimanjaro! Take in the views as you drive past dry riverbeds, giant baobab and acacia trees, tiny villages, Maasai with their cattle, and old broken railways. What's not to love?
