The Muhweza Hot Springs is a hidden gem located in the southern part of Burundi, surrounded by lush vegetation and peaceful nature. Formed by two basins, the springs are produced by geo-thermally heated groundwater from the earth’s crust and can warm up to 37.3 degrees Celsius.

The hot springs of Muhweza are another unique feature one can find in Burundi. They lie 122 kilometers from Bujumbura and 4 km south of the southern source of the Nile River, on the foot of the Northeastern part of the Kibimbi range in Bururi, Burundi. The tracks of access to the hot springs are in a good state.

Two basins supplied by ascending springs form the thermal springs of Muhweza. One is dedicated to men and the other one, more hidden, is reserved for women. The thermal waters from the outlets of the two basins join with the river that visitors have to cross to reach them and come to form a tributary of the Jiji River.

Muhweza Springs is in a small valley on the side of a small creek. The area is extremely beautiful, with green grass and beautiful trees. There is a separate soaking tub for men and women, both built from natural rocks in the area.

Traditionally, one basin is used by men, while the other is more private and reserved for women. The local people believe the springs hold healing powers for several illnesses due to their high mineral content, and many people visit to relieve stress and soothe aching muscles. Along with its therapeutic benefits, the springs are the perfect destination for a picnic, with tall trees providing shade and a serene atmosphere.

How Hot Springs are formed:

The hot springs are formed when subsurface magma heats groundwater, creating steam and hot water. The hot, less dense water rises through fissures and cracks in the ground. When it reaches the surface, features including hot springs are created. The thermal spring water’s temperatures are substantially higher than the air temperature of the surrounding area.

Muhweza hot springs feature crystal clear waters with perfect temperatures for soaking, and visitors can stay for many hours. The water does not have any sulfur smell, and soaking in hot springs can be a great way to naturally detox your skin.
