Itinerary
Tour Itinerary
A vehicle will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha/Moshi, and you’ll take a drive from the small town named Bomang’ombe. After the town, a 30-minute drive on a dust road will bring you to the local villages from where you’ll enjoy the landscape of the African countryside covered with a range of flora. The scenic and memorable drive will bring you to your destination, Kikelewa Hot Springs.
Kikelewa is a natural hot spring situated in the middle of gigantic fig trees on a terrain that receives scanty rainfall annually. The water in the caves surrounding Kikelewa is always bubbling; hence the name ‘Hot Springs’ is popular for the spot.
The water in this oasis is refreshing and warm, so if you bring swimming gear, you can enjoy a nice swim in the natural jacuzzi. Take a nap, laze around the place and enjoy a scrumptious lunch on one of the most picturesque and refreshing spots. Whenever you feel your heart is willing to depart from this heaven, the vehicle will escort you back to your hotel as the day ends.
