When to Visit?
 | So, you’ve decided to take on the challenge of enjoying the Kikuletwa Majimoto Hot Spring? Next, you need to think about the best time to go to Kikuletwa, in terms of weather, trekking conditions and popularity. Although it’s technically possible to be around the Village, there are certain months which are characterised by colder weather, more rain and potentially lots of mad and difficult to reach the area. We generally advise that the best time to Visit Kikuletwa Majimoto Hotspring is during the warmest and driest times of year, from December to mid-March and mid-June to the end of October. However, although these are considered to be the best times to enjoy this area in terms of weather, they are also the busiest months. |
Itenerary
 | We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Moshi around 10 in the morning and drive for about 1,5 hours before we reach the Kikuletwa hot spring, also called Maji Moto hot springs or Chemka hot springs. We’ll drive you back around 4 in the afternoon, and everything you do in between is completely up to you. Take a dip in the refreshing water (Surpriiiise! The water’s not hot as you might have expected, as it comes directly from Kilimanjaro), walk around the surrounding area, watch local boys jump from a rope into the water, showing some seriously impressive moves, or eat some chips mayai or chips kuku (an omelet with chips inside or chicken and chips) as you enjoy the shadow of the beautiful palm and fig trees. The drive from and back to Moshi is beautiful in itself, as we already mentioned above. Part of it leads over a paved road, but the rest of the time you’ll be driving over dirt roads through the country side. Dry riverbeds, baobab and acacia trees, tiny villages, Maasai with their cattle, and old broken railways determine the scenery. |
