Travelers to Tanzania usually base in Arusha or Moshi in between hiking  trips and safaris. While recovering from multi-day tours and hiking  trips one of the best things to do is a day-trip to the Chemka Hot  Springs, also known as the Kikuletwa Hot Springs. Just 1.5 hours from  Arusha and nearby Moshi Town, this is one of the hidden gems of Tanzania  that you need to visit. The water was crystal clear in this jungle  oasis where you can relax all day and even enjoy rope swings, tire  tubing, and some high jumps out of the trees. 

This beautiful  mineral spring originates from Kilimanjaro ground waters                         The Chemka Hot Springs are about 40 kilometers  away from Moshi, in the homonyms village called Chemka. They are  underground springs with warm water. The water forms a clear and clean  pond which is ideal for swimming. The pond is very deep, in some places  up to 10 meters, but the water is so clear that you can see the bottom  well all the time. The pond is situated under lush trees. On the shore  you can camp, enjoy your snacks and let yourself dry after swimming.

The road to the Hot  Springs is very bumpy and windy, so driving takes more than one hour.  During the trip you can enjoy the wonderful scenery and see the  authentic Tanzanian life. When we arrive at the Hot Springs you can  swim, relax, eat your lunch and enjoy the sun. If you'd like, while you  are swimming we can be preparing a barbecue for you. Additionally, if  you desire, we can overnight at the Hot Springs with a camp fire and a  bush dinner. Everywhere around the springs you can see baboons and  different monkeys.
