The Kikuletwa Hotsprings (also known as Chemka Hot Springs or Rundugai Hot Springs) is one of the most beautiful and refreshing natural spots in Tanzania. Here you can swim in crystal-clear, warm water framed by lush fig trees and hanging roots. It is a true hidden oasis in the middle of dry acacia country, located roughly 2 hours from Arusha or about 45 minutes from Moshi.
Your journey starts with a morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. After driving along the main road—with potential glimpses of Mount Kilimanjaro on clear days—we turn onto an adventurous off-road track straight into the African countryside past dry riverbeds, bushland, and local Maasai or Pare settlements.
Upon arrival at the hot springs, you can swim, rope-swing, explore, and relax beneath the green canopy. Rent snorkeling gear to check out the underwater ecosystem or simply chill out on your towel with a fresh coconut or a local massage. Keep an eye out for small fish and turtles enjoying the spring water!
They are widely known as Chemka Hot Springs, Rundugai Hot Springs, or Maji Moto.
It takes about 2 hours from Arusha and around 45 minutes from Moshi town.
