Chemka Hot Springs Day Trip

"Chemka" means boiling or bubbling. This beautiful mineral spring that originates from Kilimanjaro ground waters releases bubbles as it comes up into the natural pool surrounded by large fig trees. Here you can swim and snorkel in the transparent warm water (26 degrees), sunbathe or relax in hammocks in the shade.

Located approximately 2 hours' drive from Moshi town and hidden by a beautiful green forest lie natural hot springs, ideal for taking a relaxing dip or simply to use as a backdrop for a tranquil picnic or bbq. You will be accompanied by a driver and guide and can spend as little or as long as you like, with the option to camp overnight in this idyllic spot. If lucky, you may be able to spot baboons hanging in the tree-tops above you.

Here you may find a diversity of colorful birds amongst an abundance of plant life and neighboring indigenous tribes. There is also an option to camp overnight and hike.

TOUR ITINERARY

We'll pick you up from your Moshi hotel early morning for the hour-long drive to the Chemka Hot Springs. The road is very bumpy and windy, so hang on! During the drive, don't forget to enjoy the wonderful scenery and authentic Tanzanian life as it unfolds along the road.

When we arrive, you're free to be you. Linger at the edge of the springs, taking in the blue, blue waters and the lush green of the surrounding forest. Take a leisurely swim (don't forget that the waters are very warm, so you won't feel like an Olympic sprint) or float in a world that's all your own, listening to the water lapping and the birds overhead. If you're feeling adventurous, why not play on the rope swing? Playing isn't just for kids!

The pond can be very deep, in some places up to 10 meters, but the water is so clear that you can see right to the bottom. Eat your lunch in the shade of the trees or, if you're a sun bunny, find a hot spot all your own. You've plenty of time to spot the wildlife that also enjoy the Chemka Hot Springs.
