Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1: Moshi – Kikuletwa
You will be picked up at your hotel in Moshi/Arusha and taken to a small town called Bomang’ombe (about a 1-hour drive), then take a dusty road and drive for about 45 minutes through the local villages.
The road will take you through gorgeous African countryside pastbushland, dry riverbeds, andbaobab and acacia trees, among many others. When you reach Kikuletwa hot springs, 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’.
This water is perfectly refreshing, and if you brought your swimming gear, start enjoying it and spend most of the time swimming and rest on the mattress, have a nap, then get back to swimming till your body says, “Yes, it’s enough,” then get in the vehicle and start the drive back to the hotel where the tour ends.
