Overview

Just a short drive from Arusha lies one of Tanzania’s hidden gems—the crystal-clear blue-green waters of Chemka Hot Springs (also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs). This natural oasis surrounded by fig and palm trees offers a refreshing escape from safari dust. The springs maintain a perfect temperature year-round, ideal for swimming and relaxing. The crystal-clear waters reveal every detail of the sandy bottom, and small fish provide natural pedicures as you float peacefully. This is the perfect day trip for those seeking relaxation in a stunning natural setting.

Tour Plan

Day Activities

After breakfast, your driver will pick you up for the 1.5-hour drive from Arusha to Chemka Hotspring via the Arusha-Moshi road. The journey starts on a paved road and then transitions to gravel after about an hour, leading through stunning African countryside with bushland, dry riverbeds, baobab, and acacia trees.

Upon reaching Kikuletwa, it resembles an oasis amid sprawling fig trees in the semi-arid landscape. Crystal clear water bubbles from underground caves, earning it the name 'Hot Springs.' If you bring your bathing suit, you can take a refreshing dip and relax in the shade. After a picnic lunch, we'll return to Moshi via gravel roads, passing the Kilavu River and sugar cane plantations before arriving back in Arusha late afternoon.
