Soak in Chemka Hot Springs

Escape for a day and immerse yourself in the geothermal waters of Chemka Hot Springs. When visiting Tanzania for hiking and safaris, most travelers stay in Arusha or Moshi. It's a great idea to plan a day trip to Chemka Hot Springs, also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs, after a few days of adventure. This hidden gem is just 1.5 hours from Arusha and near Moshi Town. The crystal-clear water in this jungle oasis is perfect for relaxation, offering rope swings, tire tubing, and high jumps from the trees.

Located in the village of Chemka, about 40 kilometers from Moshi, these underground springs form a clear, clean pond ideal for swimming. The pond is bottomless, with depths up to 10 meters, yet the water is so clear you can always see the bottom. Nestled under lush trees, you can camp, enjoy snacks, and dry off after swimming on the shore.

The Chemka Hot Springs Tour will take you to this natural wonder, about 1-2 hours from Moshi by car. Hidden in a beautiful green forest, the hot springs are perfect for a relaxing swim, a tranquil picnic, or a BBQ.

Experience the natural hot springs nestled in the jungle for half a day! Capture unforgettable moments while swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Chemka Hot Springs and enjoy a picnic lunch on the shore. You’ll also be picked up and dropped off at your hotel in Moshi or Arusha.
