Day trip to Kikuletwa hot springs

Your day trip to Kikuletwa Hot Springs begins with an early morning departure from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. As you drive toward the springs, enjoy the gradually changing scenery—from lush farmland to rolling hills and pockets of forest. The journey lasts around 2–3 hours, giving you plenty of time to soak in the anticipation.

Upon arrival, you’ll find crystal-clear, warm water sourced from underground springs. The water stays around 27–30 °C year-round, perfect for a relaxing dip. You can float effortlessly, swim under natural waterfalls, and step onto the wooden platforms set up amid the palm-fringed pool. It’s the ideal spot for cooling off and enjoying nature’s serenity.

While at the springs, you may choose to enjoy a picnic lunch on-site or sample local Tanzanian dishes offered by vendors nearby. The area also features shaded rest zones and simple changing facilities. Keep an eye out for local birds and monkeys that occasionally visit the pool’s edge.

After a few hours of relaxation, you’ll head back, retracing your route past scenic backdrops until you arrive at your hotel in the late afternoon. The trip offers a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty.
