Chemka Hot Springs Overview:

Chemka Hot Springs, also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs, is a stunning natural oasis located about 40 kilometers from Moshi in Tanzania's Kilimanjaro Region. Renowned for its crystal-clear, warm geothermal waters, Chemka is surrounded by lush vegetation, creating a serene and picturesque environment perfect for swimming and relaxing. The vibrant turquoise color of the water makes it an inviting spot for underwater photography and snorkeling. Visitors often bring picnic supplies to enjoy a day by the springs, which is also a great spot for bird watching. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from June to October, when the weather is most predictable. As it is a relatively undeveloped area, it's essential to bring your own supplies and respect the natural surroundings by not leaving any trash behind. This hidden gem provides a refreshing escape and is an ideal day trip from Moshi or Arusha, especially for those looking to unwind before or after a trek to nearby Mount Kilimanjaro.
