Kikuletwa Hot Springs, also known as Chemka Hot Springs, is a hidden oasis in the Tanzanian savannah, surrounded by lush greenery and fig trees. Despite the name, the water is not boiling but naturally warm, crystal clear, and perfect for a relaxing swim. The turquoise pool is fed by underground springs and offers a refreshing escape with small fish that gently nibble at your feet for a natural spa-like experience. It's an ideal spot to unwind, float under the sun, swing into the water, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're ending a day of adventure or seeking a quiet retreat, Kikuletwa offers tranquility and natural beauty in a truly unique setting.
