KIKULETWA HOT SPRINGS ( CHEMKA )
This is a day trip to the Kikuletwa hotsprings (or Chemka hot springs). The Kikuletwa Hotsprings (also named Chemka or Rundugai Hot springs) is one of the most beautiful and refreshing places in Tanzania. Here you can swim in crystal clear, turquoise, warm water. It’s small oasis in the middle of absolutely nowhere, literally! Simply an amazing experience that’s definitely worth the visit when you’re in Tanzania. From Moshi, the trip will take about 2 hours.
CLIMB MOUNT KILIMANJARO SHIRA ROUTE DAY TRIP
The Shira Plateau area of Kilimanjaro offers a fantastic opportunity to get high on a big mountain and to hike around this impressive World Heritage Site as a day trip – it’s a fantastic area and there are some great day hikes – either a more strenuous day hiking up along the ancient rim of the plateau or something more relaxed sticking to the undulating floor – perhaps going as far as the photogenic ‘cone place’ or Shira Needles’ at the Southern end of the plateau.
CLIMB MOUNT KILIMANJARO MARANGU ROUTE 3 DAYS
On this trip, you will hike on the Marangu Route with one night at Mandara Hut and towards Horombo Hut before returning to Mandara for lunch and then hiking back. You will NOT reach the summit. All short treks are offered on a private basis, and you can start on any day of the year. The short treks are geared for people who like to hike but reaching the summit isn’t a “must do”, and allow one to experience the excitement of hiking on the highest peak on the African continent.
