Kikuletwa Hot Springs Day Tour
After dusty safaris or challenging treks, or simply for a day of pure relaxation, the Kikuletwa Hot Springs offer an unexpected and utterly delightful escape. Known locally as 'Maji Moto' (Swahili for 'hot water'), these natural geothermal springs are a true oasis amidst the dry Tanzanian landscape. Fed by underground volcanic activity, the springs boast consistently warm, wonderfully clear, turquoise waters that invite you to swim, soak, and unwind.
Our Kikuletwa Hot Springs Day Tour with Maasai Spirit Expedition is the perfect antidote to travel fatigue and an ideal way to experience a different side of Tanzania's natural wonders.

Tour Itinerary
Your relaxing day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. You’ll embark on a journey that takes you off the main roads and into the African bush, traversing through local villages and dry, dusty plains. The drive itself offers glimpses into rural Tanzanian life before you reach this unexpected paradise.
Upon arrival at Kikuletwa Hot Springs, you’ll immediately be struck by the contrast between the arid surroundings and the vibrant green, palm-fringed oasis. The main attraction is the collection of natural pools filled with incredibly clear, warm, turquoise water. Here, you’ll have ample time to immerse yourself, swim, and relax in the inviting waters. Many visitors enjoy swinging from the ropes attached to the overhead trees, launching themselves into the deeper sections of the springs, adding a playful element to the experience. The gentle current provides a natural massage, and the sandy bottom is pleasant underfoot.
You’ll have plenty of time to simply float, sunbathe on the surrounding banks, or explore the edges of the spring where smaller fish might nibble at your feet. It’s a wonderful opportunity to truly unwind and enjoy the tranquility of nature. A delicious packed lunch will be provided, typically enjoyed at a comfortable spot by the springs, allowing you to refuel while soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.
After a refreshing and leisurely time at the hot springs, you will begin your journey back. Your comfortable vehicle will transfer you directly to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha, leaving you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and with wonderful memories of Tanzania’s hidden gem.
