LAST UPDATED: 2/10/24 – How to Visit the Kikuletwa Hot Springs in Tanzania
The Kikuletwa Hotsprings is a spring oasis near Arusha, Tanzania. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists looking to get away from the heat. The crystal clear blue-green water, surrounded by beautiful forest, is absolutely stunning.
In addition to swimming in the cool, refreshing water, there is a rope swing that gets plenty of action. If you aren’t too squirmish, you can dip your feet in the water and the resident fish will give you a free pedicure (as they like to eat away the dead skin from your feet). It’s actually pretty ticklish.
If you get hungry, they serve both refreshments and Chipsi Mayai, a local egg dish that translates from Swahili to mean eggs and chips. It’s very delicious.
How to Get to the Kikuletwa Hot Springs
The hot spring is located roughly an hour from Kilimanjaro International Airport and about 2 hours from downtown Arusha. I have included a map with directions on how to get to the Kikuletwa Hotsprings from the Kilimanjaro International Airport for you to review below.
