Overview

The Chemka Hot Spring Tour takes you to a natural oasis near Moshi, about an hour’s drive from town. Fed by underground water from Mount Kilimanjaro, the spring forms a bright turquoise pool shaded by palm and fig trees. The water is warm, clear and perfect for a relaxed swim.
Swim, float, jump from the rope swing or simply lounge on the bank with a cold drink. There is no hiking and no special gear needed.
It is an easy, fun day out for families, couples and groups of friends, and a great way to rest tired legs after a climb or a safari.
Book your Chemka Hot Spring Tour today. Half-day or full-day, private or small group, with hotel pick-up from Moshi.

Comfortable and Interesting Experience! Ontime transfers provided a relaxing experience in the car as well as an interesting walking tour of the town of Moshi. The guide was very well informed and we were able to see many different parts of the town as well as being accommodated for my own requests. Would absolutely recommend!

Moshi Very great tour through Moshi. Got to know the most important points. With a local guide that is great because otherwise you are a bit lost there. 2-3 hours! Definitely do it if you have some time in Moshi.
