This area, which used to be a hunting ground for Europeans during the 1800s, is home to members of many different tribes, peacefully co-existing as neighbors. Although the game has long since migrated, it is still a haven to many animal species, including a large variety of birds.
After 1 hour 30 min of driving, green sprawling fig trees fed by underground springs, will appear out of nowhere in this dry landscape, indicating Kikuletwa Hot Springs are within reach.The crystal clear water of the springs is perfectly refreshing and you may take a plunge via a rope from the trees, slowly wade into the water from the side, or just relax in the shade of the trees.
The spring is well deep in the middle, with a strong current. Swimming to the other side of the spring is a good workout. Among other amazing features is the “Garra Rufa” Fish which are available swimming in the water. These smart little fish are used by pedicures around the world. These toothless small fish suck and nibble your skin, tenderly removing dead skin cells through natural exfoliation. So you will emerge with shiny and well revitalized body after well swimming.
