Tour Overview
Nestled in a serene location just outside of Moshi, Chemka Hot Springs (also known as Kikuletwa) is a hidden gem offering crystal-clear warm waters surrounded by lush trees. This day trip is perfect for those seeking relaxation and a chance to swim in the naturally heated geothermal pools.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Moshi through the beautiful Tanzanian countryside. Along the way, you’ll pass local villages and witness everyday life in rural Tanzania. The springs are fed by an underground river from Mount Kilimanjaro, creating a natural oasis in the middle of a semi-arid landscape.
