Overview
\\n
Chemka Hot Springs, also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs, is a natural spring-fed pool fringed with fig and palm trees, its startlingly clear turquoise water maintaining a warm, constant temperature year-round. Tucked into the savanna between Moshi and Arusha, it\’s a favorite half-day escape for travelers looking to relax between a safari and a Kilimanjaro climb, or simply cool off on a hot afternoon.
