Tour Overview
Escape to Maji Moto—the enchanting Kikuletwa Hot Springs, locally known as Chemka or Rundugai Hot Springs. This paradisiac oasis amidst the Tanzanian savannah offers captivating views, crystal-clear water, and dense vegetation, creating a scene straight from a tropical island postcard. Just 40 kilometers from Moshi, this natural wonder is the perfect antidote to adventure fatigue, offering a day of pure relaxation in one of East Africa’s most stunning natural settings.
The spring’s water, fed by Mount Kilimanjaro’s snowmelt, remains a refreshing temperature year-round and reaches depths of up to 10 meters. Surrounded by lush jungle with palm and fig trees, the area offers a serene atmosphere where visitors can spot Blue Monkeys. Adventure seekers can enjoy a rope swing and cliff jumps, while those seeking relaxation can unwind in the shaded natural canopies.

Local Interaction
Chat with friendly locals at the small bar, purchase fresh fruits and cold drinks, and experience the warm Swahili hospitality that makes Tanzania special. This is cultural immersion at its most relaxed and authentic.
