Chemka Kikuletwa Hotspring Day Tour
The Kikuletwa Hotsprings Day Trip
Visit Chemka Oasis, also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs as a daytrip from Moshi, Kilimanjaro and swim in the crystal clear warm water stream
Chemka Hot Springs
Maji Moto, also known as Kikuletwa Hotsprings, is like a beautiful oasis in Tanzania’s grassy plains. It’s got stunning views that remind you of paradise, water so clear it sparkles, and lots of green plants all around. You can find it just a two-hour drive away from Moshi, which is where many people start their climb up Kilimanjaro or go on safari.
The Chemka oasis is really special because it’s the only place in Tanzania, and maybe even in all of East Africa, where underground water mixes with hot springs, making these cozy little lakes with warm, always-moving water. It’s as clean and nice as the best resorts in the Dominican Republic or the Maldives.

The Kikuletwa Hotsprings Day Trip Highlight
We will pick you up in the morning. The ride to the hot springs takes about an hour and leads partly over bumpy slopes. First, we pass sugar cane plantations, then we enter the African scrubland. Dried river beds, baobab, and acacia trees accompany us on our way.
The hot springs of Kikuletwa, also known as Chemka Hot Springs, are close to the village of Rundugai and are one of the most beautiful places in Tanzania to relax. The small pond is surrounded by palm and fig trees with winding roots. In the morning, Blue Monkeys can often be observed in the trees, while the crystal clear, turquoise water invites you to a refreshing bath. Although they are called hot springs, the water in Kikuletwa is not truly ‘hot’ but refreshing, as the water source is fed by Kilimanjaro itself.
Enjoy a wonderful day in just the way you want, basking in the sun, chatting with the locals at the small bar, or swimming – you determine the course of this day. At noon, we will have a picnic lunch, and in the late afternoon, we return relaxed to Moshi.

He made us visit and discover the real wildlife of Tanzania. No trouble was too much for him. His knowledge about all the hotspots of the different animals is amazing. Haruna matata, he gets you around.Rony V2023-12-27Unforgettable experience at Mount Meru! We climbed Mount Meru in 4 days with Happyson and his crew from Seko Tours. We had an amazing experience, even though it was quite tough (especially because of the rainy season). We made it to the top thanks to this wonderful crew. They even shared their rain jacket and waterproof gloves with us. The chef prepared delicious meals, and the waiter took great care of us (including water to wash ourselves, tea, popcorn and hot water in a bottle to keep us warm during the night). Happyson and team spared no efforts and we had a lot of fun together. On the fourth day, right before the gate, we were surprised by seeing so many wild animals and the beautiful waterfall. The two giraffes at just a few meters away was amazing. Would definitely recommend!!Romy H2023-11-28Safari with David from Seko tours David was our guide for our 2 day Tarangire and 1 day Ngorongoro safari. We were with a group of 4 friends and David was the best guide we could wish for. He had a lot of knowledge about the area, the animals, the culture, actually about everything. He could find every amimal we wanted to see including the difficult to spot cheeta, leopard and rhino. He did everything to get us the best spot to view and photograph the animals. When viewing, he told us a lot of intersting facts about the animals and the area they are in. Between the safari days David also was our driver to all locations in between, always on time and always with surprises, like beer or a great warm lunch. Thanks David you made our trip really worth it!!Avdb2023-10-28Best Safari guides with a lot of knowledge, friendliness and fun We had a wonderful experience with our guides Shabani (mr walking encyclopedia) and John (mr juice). We went to Tarangiri, Serengeti and Ngorogoro in 2 cars with a family of 7. Both guides learned us a lot on the animals and really were motivated to give us the best time possible. They are friendly, happy and the best guides you could wish for. We saw all animals we wanted to see multiple times and had a lot of fun together.Cindy V2023-07-24
