Natural Pool Adventure

Safari summary

Discover a hidden paradise with our Chemka Hot Springs Day Trip, the perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax, refresh, and immerse themselves in Tanzania’s natural beauty. Just a short drive from Moshi or Arusha, Chemka (also known as Kikuletwa) Hot Springs is a lush, shaded oasis with stunning crystal-clear turquoise waters bubbling up from underground. Despite the name, the water is comfortably warm and wonderfully clean, creating a natural swimming pool that feels like a tropical spa.

Surrounded by fig and palm trees with tangled roots dipping into the water, the setting is irresistibly scenic and peaceful. Whether you want to swim, float lazily under the leafy canopy, swing into the pool on the famous rope, or just sit at the water’s edge with your feet dangling in the clear spring, this is the perfect place to unwind. The water is so clear you can see fish darting around your toes a true natural wonder that delights visitors of all ages.

The journey itself is an experience, taking you through charming local villages, open savannah, and fields with views of Kilimanjaro on clear days. Along the way, you'll see local life in action and feel the warm Tanzanian hospitality that makes this country so special. On arrival, you’ll have plenty of unhurried time to swim, explore, and enjoy a picnic-style lunch or local meal.

Perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, or groups of friends, the Chemka Hot Springs Day Trip offers a simple but unforgettable adventure. It’s a chance to take a break from the safari dust, cool off (or warm up!) in natural springs, meet local people, and enjoy one of Northern Tanzania’s most beautiful and relaxing spots all in one easy day trip.
