Morning Bliss at Kikuletwa Chemka Hotsprings

As the sun peeks over the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, there’s no better way to start your day in Moshi Urban than with a visit to the Chemka Hotsprings. Available from 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM, this geothermal oasis offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The drive to the springs is an adventure in itself, with bumpy roads that wind through the picturesque Tanzanian landscape. As you arrive, the clear, turquoise waters invite you to take a leisurely swim or simply float and listen to the symphony of nature around you. The lush forest, alive with birdsong and the occasional call of monkeys, provides a perfect backdrop for relaxation. Whether you choose to play on the rope swing or simply soak in the warm waters, the Chemka Hotsprings promise a rejuvenating start to your day.

A Cultural Journey to Materuni Waterfalls

After a refreshing morning, gear up for an adventurous afternoon with a visit to the Materuni Waterfalls. This scenic Kilimanjaro adventure is available from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering a full day of exploration and cultural immersion. The journey begins at the One Bike Shop in the city center, where you’ll embark on a thrilling bike ride through the vibrant streets of Moshi. As you pedal towards the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro, you’ll pass through charming villages and witness the everyday life of the Chagga people. The ride is challenging, but the breathtaking views of lush coffee, banana, and corn plantations make it worthwhile. Upon reaching Materuni village, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy local cuisine and participate in an interactive coffee tour. A short walk from the village leads you to the majestic Materuni Waterfalls, where you can swim in the refreshing waters and marvel at the natural beauty surrounding you.

We cycled from Moshi village to the Materuni waterfalls, which was a physical, but rewarding experience. After the ride, we explored the surroundings of the waterfalls and swum at the bottom of the waterfall, which was more than welcome after sweating to reach the top! The tour was perfectly organized by our guide Said and the bicycles were from high quality. I definitively recommend the excursion if you spend a few days in Moshi.
