Safari summary
This 1-day bike cycling tour takes you from Moshi to Chemka Hot Spring, a natural warm water pool on the outskirts of Moshi, Tanzania. Kikuletwa/Chemka Hot Springs derive their name from the bubbling water within subterranean caves. Chemka is an extraordinary collection of underground springs where the water, clear as crystal, bubbles up from below, creating the illusion of boiling, hence the Swahili name "CHEMKA," meaning boil. The turquoise blue and crystal-clear water entices visitors for a refreshing plunge into its depths, reaching over 6 meters. The pool is set amidst a semi-arid landscape and surrounded by sprawling fig trees. Situated near Moshi town, specifically in Rundugai village between Moshi and Arusha, approximately 40 kilometers from Moshi town, Chemka provides an ideal resting spot.

At the hot springs, local small shops offer snacks, drinks, and even traditional dishes for visitors to enjoy.
