1-Day Excursion to Chemka Hot Spring, a Natural Hot Swimming Pool 2026 2027

Day 1: Day 1

Morning: Get ready for a beautiful drive to Chemka, also known as Maji Moto. The trip usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, and as you travel towards the Boma Ng'ombe area, notice how the scenery changes. Then, jump right into the lovely warm water of Chemka for your first swim! Enjoy this natural "hot spring" - the" water stays comfortably warm all year. Swim around, float, and just relax in this beautiful natural spot. Lunch: Enjoy a meal prepared by the local vendors near Chemka. They usually sell simple but tasty Tanzanian food like grilled meat (nyama choma), fries (chips), or local stews. This is a great way to support the local community. Afternoon: After a tasty lunch, keep enjoying the refreshing water. You can swim to different parts of the spring, try to see more fish, or just relax in the sun on the banks. Begin your drive back to Arusha. Enjoy the late afternoon views as you head back, and you'll be dropped off at your hotel or another agreed-upon location.
