Experience three of northern Tanzania’s most spectacular destinations in one unforgettable adventure. This 2-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route, Materuni Waterfalls & Chemka Hot Springs Tour is especially suited to travelers with limited time. In a short but memorable itinerary, it combines Africa’s Highest Mountain, authentic Chagga culture, breathtaking waterfalls and crystal-clear natural hot springs.
Hike the Lemosho Route on Mount Kilimanjaro
First, you begin your journey on the legendary Lemosho Route, which many consider the most scenic route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Then you hike through the lush rainforest of Kilimanjaro National Park, far from the crowds. Along the peaceful trails, you may see giant indigenous trees, colorful birds, blue monkeys and black-and-white colobus monkeys.
The Lemosho Route is also famous for some of the best and closest views of Kibo Peak and Uhuru Peak. When the sky is clear, you enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the snow-capped summit of Africa’s tallest mountain. As a result, it is one of the finest spots for photographers and nature lovers.
Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot Springs
Next, you continue to the beautiful Materuni Waterfalls, tucked away on the green slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. First, you walk through coffee plantations and a traditional Chagga village while learning about local culture. Then you reach the spectacular waterfall, which cascades over 80 metres into a natural pool.
Finally, you complete your experience with a refreshing swim at the famous Chemka Hot Springs (Kikuletwa Hot Springs). This natural oasis sits among tropical fig trees, so there is plenty of shade. Here, you can relax in the crystal-clear turquoise water, swing into the springs or simply unwind in one of Tanzania’s most beautiful natural swimming spots.
Where You Stay
After an exciting day of exploration, you then relax at the comfortable Kilimanjaro White House Hotel. There, you enjoy warm hospitality, delicious cuisine and a peaceful night’s rest before continuing your journey.
Are you visiting Tanzania before or after a Serengeti Safari, Ngorongoro Crater Tour, Tarangire National Park or a Zanzibar Beach Holiday? Either way, this tour offers the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, nature and culture.
