Start your Tanzania relaxation day trip with a morning pickup from your Arusha accommodation by your Serengeti Wildlife Safaris guide, and enjoy a scenic drive through the Tanzanian countryside toward the Kikuletwa Hot Springs, also known as Chemka Hot Springs. Tucked away in a hidden oasis between Arusha and Moshi, this natural geothermal spring is one of Tanzania’s best-kept secrets—a peaceful paradise surrounded by fig trees, palms, and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
The drive offers views of local villages, dry savannah, and glimpses of Mount Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru on clear days. Upon arrival, you’ll have the rest of the morning and early afternoon to relax and unwind. The warm, mineral-rich waters are perfect for a refreshing swim or float, and the rope swings add a bit of fun and adventure for thrill-seekers. The area is well-shaded, making it ideal for lounging, reading, or simply soaking in the tranquil surroundings.
A picnic lunch or local meal can be arranged, allowing you to enjoy a laid-back experience in nature. Chemka is not only a great place to relax but also perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers looking to escape the crowds and recharge in a serene natural setting.
In the late afternoon, you'll begin your return journey back to Arusha, either to your accommodation or directly to the airport, bringing your peaceful retreat to a perfect close.
