Chemka Hot Springs

A Perfect Day of Natural Relaxation and Scenic Beauty

Embark on a rejuvenating day trip to the stunning Kikuletwa (Chemka) Hot Springs, a hidden natural treasure tucked away between Moshi and Arusha. This one-day escape offers a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation in one of Tanzania’s most picturesque settings.

Located about 2 hours’ drive from either Arusha or Moshi, the journey takes you through charming rural villages, past Boma Ng’ombe, and alongside expansive onion farms and scenic landscapes—offering a glimpse of authentic Tanzanian life.

Upon arrival at the Chemka Hot Springs, you’ll be welcomed by crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounded by lush fig trees and a tranquil atmosphere. The natural geothermal pool is ideal for a refreshing swim, with warm, clean waters that stay consistently inviting all year round.
