Chemka Hot Springs, also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs, is one of northern Tanzania’s most refreshing natural oases. Tucked between Moshi and Arusha in a quiet, rural setting, this crystal-clear blue pool is surrounded by tall palm trees, fig trees, and hanging roots that create a peaceful, almost tropical atmosphere.
The water is warm, clean, and inviting—perfect for swimming, relaxing, or simply floating under the shade. For many travelers, this becomes one of the most memorable places in the region, especially after a long safari, Kilimanjaro climb, or a day of exploring.
Everyday Safaris organizes comfortable, stress-free trips to Chemka so you can enjoy a full day of swimming, sun, relaxation, and local food without any rush.
The water stays naturally warm year-round, making it perfect for a refreshing swim. It’s deep in some areas and shallow in others, so everyone feels comfortable.
Adventurous visitors love the rope swings. It’s safe, fun, and one of the most iconic Chemka photos.
There are plenty of quiet corners to sit, read, or enjoy the calm atmosphere. The surrounding trees offer natural shade.
Small food stands serve grilled chicken, chips, bbq, samosas, and cold drinks. Simple, tasty, and part of the experience.
Walk around the area to see small streams, greenery, and the hot spring’s natural source.
The turquoise water, tree roots hanging over the pool, and playful reflections make Chemka a photographer’s dream.
