Tour overview
This tour takes you to Pyrita Farm in Hai district on the Western part of Kilimanjaro region and then to Kikuletwa hotspring. You will be exposed to the wet and dry areas of the region.

Tour Itinerary
You will be pick up in the morning from your hotel and drive to Banana Farm (Pyrita Farm) which is located on west Kilimanjaro
Upon arrival you'll likely receive a warm welcome from banana expert who will introduce you to a Banana Farm and arrange a walk in between of banana trees, enjoy the cool and peaceful environment at the banana farm, take some nice photos with banana, learn about the different types of bananas and their uses.
You'll have the opportunity to learn about banana cultivation practices. This may include information on planting, caring for banana plants, and the various banana varieties grown in the area.
In the early afternoon after Banana Farm Tour, your trip continues to the Kikuletwa Hot Springs. We will drive to the African scrubland, baobab and acacia trees accompany you on the way. The hot springs of Kikuletwa, also known as Chemka Hot Springs, are close to the village of Rundugai and are one of the most beautiful places in Tanzania to relax. The small pond is surrounded by palm and fig trees with winding roots and the crystal clear, turquoise water invites you to a refreshing bath. Although they are called hot springs, the water in Kikuletwa is not truly ‘hot’ but refreshing, as the water source is fed by Kilimanjaro itself. Enjoy a wonderful afternoon in just the way you want, in the sun dozing, chatting with the locals at the small bar, or swimming - you determine the course. We leave the hot springs in the late afternoon (just before sunset) and return relaxed to Moshi.

Teo N2025-03-30Verified Best experience ever: Mount Kili My experience as a solo Mount Kilimanjaro climber with Kisambi tours was one of the best experiences of my life. The owner of Kisambi tours, Mr Elisante is the kindest and offers the best services. My Guide, Matty was heaven sent. He is all about positivity. He was there for me when I wanted to give up. Thank you, Matty. You are a Star 🌟 The porters and the cook were amazing and wonderful. Five stars meals during my climb. I will do it again just for the good (Hahahaha)! Kisambi tours, thank you for this amazing experience. Much loveTeo tricia m2025-02-21Verified Excellent experience as a solo traveler Tanzania Safari on your own? I kind of thought I was crazy to do this, but a friend who has done Safari 3x said it is her dream to have the truck entirely to herself. And now, I understand why. I have never felt so spoiled. If you are thinking about a Tanzania or Tanz/Kenya Safari, I can highly r Kisambi Tours & my guide, Elvis. It was a dream. We saw the big five +++. Elvis has 20 years of experience and knows exactly where to go every day. He does not listen to the nattering on the radio, people call him because he has 20 years of friendships in the Parks. He made sure everything was perfect and is terrific company. The trucks from the big companies looked crowded & uncomfortable. And when I was in the hotels and camps, people that were on long tours in big groups said there were some fractures in the groups & people not getting along. It's a hot & dusty AMAZING experience, so my very small group of just me and Elvis 🤣 got along just fine! The owner, Elisante, checked in with me on WhatsApp often, to make sure everything was going smoothly. I'm quite sure the big big companies do not do that :-). If you're thinking solo Safari, do it. I'm so glad I didn't book with a tour company. I'm so sad it's over, but so glad it happened ❤️🦛🦓🦒🦁🦏 GBolondi2025-02-12Verified Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Dieter Dieter was an excellent guide, who drove us safely to every place. He knew all the zones and allowed us to see so many animals. He helped us in deciding when to leave in the morning, was kind and recognized/explained so many animals. We are really grateful to have travelled with him. Georgios K2025-02-04Verified Excellent day! Polite guide! Professionally treatment Fantastic experience, happy 😊 trip, professional stuff. We enjoy so much the hole experience! We felt safe and happy with the guide and driver Jim K2025-01-31Verified Safari with friends and family We just came back from a 6 day private safari Tour in Tanzania and had such a great experience. We were a group of 8 and had two vehicles. They were driven by Joseph and Ernest. These guys were great. They knew everything about the area, and all about the plants and animals. They made sure we had the best view of the animals in all the parks. Thomas M2025-01-05Verified Kilimanjaro Hike We went on a 6-day hike to the top of the Kilimanjaro; simply one of the greatest experiences in my life. Apart from the beautiful views, the good care by our guides and the good food made it a hike never to forget. I'd recommend these tours to anyone. Savanna K2024-10-28Verified Amazing experience with Kisambi In particularly, we wanted to book with a Tanzanian tour operator, so ended up at Kisambi tours, which was recommended to us by a friend. From the beginning onwards, Elisante was very helpful in discussing the possibilities for our tight schedule, and provided us with travel itineraries for all options. The communication beforehand was very smooth, making the preparations upon arrival in Moshi very pleasant. Upon arrival at the bus stop, we were picked up and since then, it felt like an 'adventurous all-inclusive holiday to never forget'. Both the climb as well as the safari were private (I think this is most often the case).We started with a 7 day Lemosho Kilimanjaro hike, in which we were accompanied by our guides Rama and Amani. The guides were super friendly, and knowledgable. The porters (8) made sure to arrive at the camp earlier than we did, in order to be able to change clothes immediately, or sit on the camping chair. It was nice to see that the porters and guides really team up (they always works together in this composition). We were truly amazed by the food that was prepared during the climb, especially considering the limited utilities. Upon arrival, hot water was provided for water/hot chocolate/ tea, accompanied by popcorn. When possible, the chef prepared a warm lunch halfway. In the evening, dinner started with soup, and always fruit as dessert. Whereas I could overcome the 'toilets' at the campsites, looking back: my friend would have paid an additional fee to have a portable toilet along. After the climb, we were dropped off at our hotel to get a hot shower and rest for a bit. The next morning we were picked up by Gabrielli for our next adventure: a 3-day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and lake Manyara. Gabrielli was very relaxed, knowledgeable and respectful towards the animals. Especially his attitude towards the animals: 'We'll just wait here for a bit and they will come to us: you'll see', made him a really good guide, since in our opinion other safari vans could be very intrusive towards the wildlife. All in all, our experience was really good and we would totally recommend Kisambi to anyone planning to go to Tanzania. Eric F2024-10-23Verified Unforgettable hiking experience I booked through Elisante the 8-day Lemosho route up Kilimanjaro with my buddy to celebrate our milestone birthdays. We ended up only needing 7 days, and had an amazing time, took amazing pictures, and am truly grateful for our experience. Was it hard? Yes, but totally worth it. Our tour guide, Rama, was motivating, friendly, and so knowledgeable. He helped turn a tough experience into one where we can look back and say we climbed one of the tallest mountains in the world. Shout out to the crew of porters as well— so nice and helpful. The food wasn’t bad— I was happy to get a vegetarian meal. One tip— ask about and spring for the private bathroom!Will consider going back one day with kids. Waraporn S2024-10-22Verified One day Maasai village tour My husband and I booked the one day tour for Maasai village and Chemka hot spring. We had unpleasant experience at Maasai village. We are not sure how authentic they are, but everyone in the village tried to sell us things at ridiculously high price.However, our tour guide is knowledgeable and friendly. Silvia P2024-10-14Verified Excellent organisation I've just spent one week in Tanzania organised by this agency. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the arrival when Alen came to pick us up till the end of the journey. We were 9 people, guided by two excellent rangers Kelvin and Timothy and the great local guides Alen and Innocent. I was guided by Alen and Kelvin. They all are very smart and have great knowledge about parks, animals and culture. Alen was very kind and genuine, reassuring the group about the safety and giving good explanation about anything we asked.Another special appreciation to Kelvin, who contributed to a memorable, unique trip thanks to his safe guide, his excellent communication in Italian, his friendly manners and his passion for this job as he explained peculiar characteristics of each animal and social communication among them; he even had the sixth sense for finding hidden animals. I truly appreciated that. The tours were well organised, no stressful timings, yummy food prepared by very friendly chefs. We all dined together and then chilled out after a long day as old friends ☺️ I do thank them for rendering my birthday in Tanzania memorable with a big surprise 🎉🇹🇿 I truly recommend it!
