Day 1:

Your day begins with pickup from Arusha or Moshi and a scenic drive to a traditional Maasai village. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed with traditional songs and invited to learn about Maasai customs, warrior traditions, daily lifestyle, and community structure. Engage in activities such as fire-making demonstrations, spear techniques, and visiting traditional bomas (huts). This is an authentic and respectful cultural interaction designed to support the community.

Midday: Hot Local Lunch

After the village visit, enjoy a freshly prepared hot lunch—a flavorful Tanzanian meal served at a local restaurant or picnic-style, depending on your preference.

Afternoon: Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Springs

Next, continue to the enchanting Chemka Hot Springs, one of Tanzania’s most beautiful natural swimming spots. Dive into warm, mineral-rich turquoise waters surrounded by fig trees and volcanic landscapes. You’ll have plenty of time to swim, relax on the swings, explore the oasis, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

After a refreshing afternoon, your guide will drive you back to Arusha or Moshi, arriving in the early evening.
