Tour Plan

Moshi / Arusha - Chemka Hot Springs
We will pick you up from your Moshi / Arusha 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,feel free to be you and 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 (do not forget that the waters are very warm, so you will not feel like an Olympic sprint) or float in a world that is all your own, listening to the water lapping and the birds overhead. If you are feeling adventurous you can play on the rope swing.
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. You will have plenty of time to spot the beauty of Chemka Hot Springs.
