Geothermal Waters at Chemka

If you're looking for a peaceful spot to relax after exploring Tanzania, Chemka Hot Springs (also called Kikuletwa Hot Springs) is a must-visit. Nestled near Moshi, this hidden gem is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day of hiking or safari adventures.

Just over an hour’s drive from Moshi and around two hours from Arusha, Chemka Hot Springs offers a true escape. Imagine clear, warm water surrounded by lush greenery, where you can swim, relax, or even try a rope swing. The water is so clean and pure, you can see all the way to the bottom, even in the deeper areas that reach up to 10 meters. It’s a natural oasis that feels like paradise.

What makes Chemka truly special is that it's the only place in Tanzania where the water comes from geothermal springs. This means the water is always fresh and flowing, never still or stagnant. It’s like having your own natural swimming pool, right in the heart of the Tanzanian landscape.
