A006 – Maasai Village Visit with overnight stay & Kikuletwa Hot Springs
Spend with us a day and a night at the Maasai – an unforgettable experience
Would you like to get to know the Maasai and its unique way of life and culture?
Then visit with us the Maasai village of Kambi ya Chokaa. Unlike many other Maasai villages in the area, which have been built only for tourist purposes, Kambi ya Chokaa is an authentic village founded by local Maasai.
We start early in the morning together with our English-speaking guide.
The journey to the village takes about an hour. Just behind Moshi, we leave the asphalted road and continue on bumpy slopes. The path leads past dried-up river beds and the mighty baobab trees, on the way we
encounter the first Maasai.

Words from Our Clients
Serenity experience Excellent service provided, staff were prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Food provided was good. I’d recommend their service anytime!
Fahreen B2023-11-24Extraordinary flexible and friendly We climbed Kilimanjaro thanks to Kizambi tours and it was a wonderful experience. The team was very nice, flexible and there for our needs and wishes. For example we decided to go up one day earlyer than planned and it was no problem even though decided quite spontaneously! We had quite a few changes like this in our plans and it was never a problem, the team adapted very well ("hakuna Matata"). So, the communication was very good and not complicated. When we had questions we could always ask our "manager" and he responded us very quickly. I felt safe and in good hands though we also had enough freedom to explore and do things by ourselves. Thanks for these beautiful holidays!

Keith M2023-10-19Great tour! Had an amazing day trip with Mercy and Charlie! Mercy led us on a great trek to the waterfall and then to the coffee bean farm where we got to take part in the local coffee making process! Then onto the fabulous hot springs! Food was great throughout the day! Would recommend this trip, especially Mercy and Charlie!
Tara2023-10-12Climbing the Kilimanjaro with a wonderful, reliable and fun crew! An amazing experience that I would recommend everyone! We highly recommend this organization for any excursion offered. With a high reliability and clear instructions we together checked our gear and did a briefing on how the 7 day trek would look like. After six intense but rewarding days, the team helped us achieve our long-time dream of climbing the Kilimanjaro. We were humbled by the kindness and professionalism of our 10-man crew. Our two guides made it their sole purpose to get us to the roof of Africa and summit with succes. Throughout this amazing experience we were surprised during every meal about the wonderful food that the team prepared for us. Good nutrition is key for such a challenging experience and we were grateful that this was really handled well. We would definitely make use of this organization again upon another visit of Tanzania.
Bente B2023-09-25Best experience ever My partner and I stayed with Kisambi tour for a 6 days experience. Elisante organized everything for us, and even before the trip was always precise and fast in replying to our questions via messages. The tour included: the first day visiting Materuni waterfall and a coffee preparation experience accompanied by traditional songs and dances. The following day we went to hot spring and visiting a Masai Village. After this, we met out amazing guide Godlove and we started our 4 days safari. We visited Tarangire national park , Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater. It was without doubts, one of the best experiences of our lives. During the safari, we spent nights in campsites and we had a personal cook with us, Idd, who made the trip even better cooking traditional foods every day. We highly recommend travelling with Kisambi tour!
Elisa S2023-09-16Amazing Waterfall and Coffee Roasting Experience Great, moderate hike to the stunning Materuni Falls. Along the way, our guide Godwin told us so much about the history of the area, and the local flowers, fruit, and birds. He was so knowledgeable! After seeing the waterfall, which was incredible, we hiked back to a local Chogga village and had a delicious lunch of banana soup, rice, beans and spiced vegetables. Then, we learned all about coffee cultivation and roasting, and had the most delicious cup of coffee. So much fun and so educational. It was a highlight of our trip to Tanzania,
Susan K2023-09-14Best company to visit Moshi! Great company to visit Tanzania and go around Arousha and Moshi. Elisante is very available, friendly and kind! First, we had a wonderful safari, with a very kind and prepared driver, Joseph, always on-time! The last day they even offered us a middle day trip, before going to the airport, with another fantastic, joyful driver, Julius! They are the best!

Tour Plan
We visit a traditional Maasai village and ask you therefore to be a respectful guest. The Maasai are very open-minded and communicative, however, how much they open up to you also depends on you and your social skills. Our English-speaking guide will assist you and translate into Kimassai, as the Maasai themselves usually do not speak English.
Whilst you walk through the village with your guide, you will have the opportunity to chat with the Maasai and to learn interesting facts about the culture and the traditional Maasai medicine. You are also invited to taste the local Maasai tea and you will have the opportunity to visit a Maasai home. In between there is a small snack.
Afterwards, your guide will take you on a small hike into the bush, where you will also collect firewood for the evening. Later on at the camp fire, you can then listen to the exciting stories of the Maasai and admire the women at a traditional dance. Perhaps you are also asked to dance, donť be shy. At the subsequent dinner we let the day end.
You will camp overnight at a beautiful site near the village. We want to respect the privacy of the Maasai and have therefore decided on this option. Accommodation is in simple but high quality tents. To ensure that you do not have to do without comfort, a camping toilet with a tent is at your disposal. For washing, there is a bowl of hot water. Before you go to sleep, you can at good weather conditions enjoy the fantastic starry heaven.
The next morning, there is an early, but cozy breakfast. As soon as we say goodbye to the villagers, we continue to the hot springs of Kikuletwa, which are near the village of Rundugai.
The Kikuletwa Hot Springs are certainly one of the most beautiful places in Tanzania - the hot springs are surrounded by fig and palm trees and winding roots - a real hidden paradise. The crystal clear, turquoise waters invite you for a refreshing swim. Although called a hot spring, water in Kikuletwa is not hot, but rather refreshing since the water source is from the Kilimanjaro mountain itself. Most of the visitors arrive around noon, but we arrive early in the morning when it is still quiet. Therefore, with some luck we will spot the blue monkeys in the tree tops, before they later disappear in the bush.
After you have enjoyed your bath, it is time for a picnic. In the early afternoon we return with a lot of impressions to Moshi.
Please bring your own sleeping bag on this tour. If you do not have a sleeping bag, we will gladly provide you with a sleeping bag for a small extra charge (limited availability).
