Hidden in the heart of the Tanzanian savannah lies Kikuletwa Hot Springs, also known as Chemka. This enchanting oasis is a true paradise, surrounded by lush vegetation and filled with crystal-clear turquoise waters that invite you for a refreshing swim. Just a two-hour drive from Arusha—the gateway to Kilimanjaro—this natural haven is a perfect escape from the bustle of safari towns.

What makes Chemka so unique is its origin. It is the only place in Tanzania, and one of the few in East Africa, where underground streams meet geothermal activity, creating a series of warm, spring-fed pools. The water is constantly flowing, ensuring an exceptional clarity that rivals some of the world’s most famous tropical resorts. Whether you come to relax under the shade of fig trees, swim in the sparkling waters, or simply enjoy the tranquil setting, Kikuletwa Hot Springs is a natural wonder not to be missed.
