Chemka Hot Springs

We will pick you up from your Moshi hotel and drive 1.5 - 2 hours. Along the way you will see gorgeous African countryside with small villages, bushland, dry riverbeds, acacia and baobab trees.

The underground hot springs provide crystal clear waters. The springs are surrounded by the roots of fig trees, creating a hidden paradise.

The water is not actually hot, but pleasently warm and makes for great swimming. You will have a few hours to relax and enjoy yourself. A lunch is served and in mid afternoon we return you to your Moshi hotel.
