A Relaxing Oasis at Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Springs
Unwind in the crystal-clear, geothermal-warmed turquoise waters of Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Springs, shaded by lush fig trees between Arusha and Moshi.
Tucked away in a semi-arid landscape between Moshi and Arusha, Chemka Hot Springs (also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs) is an underground-fed oasis where crystal-clear turquoise water bubbles up from beneath Mount Kilimanjaro.
Surrounded by giant fig and palm trees, the natural lagoon offers comfortably warm water ideal for swimming, floating on inner tubes, swinging from rope swings, or simply relaxing in the shade by the water’s edge.
This private day excursion is a favorite way to unwind before or after a Mount Kilimanjaro climb or Northern Circuit wildlife safari.
