Spend your day by visiting Kikuletwa Hot springs for swimming in a natural swimming pool while waiting for our delicious barbeque at a typical cool environment with your friends.
The drive from Arusha to Kikuletwa Hot Springs will start on paved road toward Kilimanjaro, before turning right onto gravel road about 30 minutes later. The road will take you thru gorgeous African country side past bush land, dry riverbeds, and baobab and acacia trees among many others. This vast area, which used to be a hunting ground for Europeans during the 1800s, is now home to members of many different tribes, peacefully co-existing as neighbors. Although the game has long since migrated, it is still a haven to many animal species, including a variety of birds. When you reach Kikuletwa it will appear as an oasis surrounded by sprawling fig trees, in the middle of this semi-arid landscape. You will see crystal clear water bubbling from underground caves, giving the impression that it is boiling, hence the name “Hot springs”.
The water is perfectly refreshing and if you brought your bathing suit, this is your time to take a dip and relax in the shade of the trees.
