Lake Manyara National Park Day Safari
Day Trips
Discover one of northern Tanzania’s most refreshing day trips with our Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai Village Tour from Moshi. Located near the Kilimanjaro region, Kikuletwa—also known as Chemka Hot Springs—is a natural oasis surrounded by fig trees and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Despite the name, the water is pleasantly warm rather than hot, making it ideal for swimming and relaxation. Combined with a cultural visit to a traditional Maasai village in Rundugai, this experience offers a balanced blend of nature, local culture, and scenic countryside exploration.
The spring’s underground-fed waters create a vivid turquoise pool, perfect for swimming and relaxing in a tranquil setting.
Surrounded by palm trees and lush vegetation, the area feels like a hidden oasis away from busy towns.
Small fish gently interact with swimmers, adding a unique and fun element to the visit.
Kikuletwa offers a calm and rejuvenating environment, ideal for travelers seeking relaxation after safari or trekking.
Enhance your day with a visit to a traditional Maasai village in Rundugai. Here you will learn about Maasai customs, traditional housing (Manyatta), pastoral lifestyle, and community traditions.
This cultural interaction provides meaningful insight into one of Tanzania’s most iconic ethnic groups while supporting local communities through responsible tourism.
Your journey begins with morning pickup from Moshi (Arusha available upon request). Enjoy a scenic drive through rural landscapes toward Kikuletwa.
