Tanzania Day Trip

Chemka Hot Springs

Unwind in an enchanting desert oasis hidden within an arid scrubland plain. Chemka Hot Springs (also known as Kikuletwa) features beautiful pools of warm, crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by a dense canopy of ancient fig trees and twisting roots. It is the perfect tropical paradise for swimming, relaxing, and refreshing your body after a dusty safari or a grueling mountain trek.

From $85 per person
