About this experience

The Chemka/Kikuletwa Hot Springs are an oasis in the hinterland of the Kilimanjaro region, situated 40 kilometers from Moshi. At these idyllic underground springs with the crystal clear, turquoise water, you can enjoy the perfect rest after a strenuous Kilimanjaro climb or adventurous wilderness safari. But also for day-trippers, they are an ideal destination. Whether it's the old, the young, the quiet or the active, the Chemka Hot Springs invite you to linger, swim and explore. The pond is very deep, in some places up to 10 meters, but the water is so clear that you can see the bottom well all the time. On the shore under lush trees you can camp, enjoy your snacks or soak up the sun.

Was just sleeping at this paradis

This is the hidden gem of Africa that worth the long bumpy ride from Boma. A t first it is like you are going to the mid of no-where but after a certain considerable notice of a tall green bush you start to understand that you are not completely lost. The people coming here are many and I knew that from the road itself. We spent a couple of hours here. It was nice to have some barbeque chicken and French fries that were locally made by a local chef. The drinks were of many sorts from hard liquor to soft drinks. We like the way everything was prepared by Burigi Chato safaris including sleeping at this paradise.

Swim and Overnight in the Chemka hot springs

Ooooh!! Words can not be used to explain about the time that we spent there. There were many people and everyone enjoyed everything. My trip was well arranged and as I opted to sleep at this place I was happy that there were tents and I was not given an extra charge for renting the gear I am thankful I chose this company. I swam in the springs even at night when the water was much more warmer. I learnt that this place was very cool and had the kindest of people and my company I booked with was very supportive to make my experience better.

Amazing Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Spring Day Trip | BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO LTD: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

How much does Amazing Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Spring Day Trip | BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO LTD cost?

+

Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Amazing Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Spring Day Trip | BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO LTD take?

+

Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arusha is not rushed.

Is Amazing Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Spring Day Trip | BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO LTD worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Amazing Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Spring Day Trip | BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO LTD?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Amazing Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Spring Day Trip | BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO LTD suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Amazing Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Spring Day Trip | BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO LTD?

+

Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Amazing Chemka (Kikuletwa) Hot Spring Day Trip | BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS CO LTD start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arusha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Arusha?

+

On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 4 Days Group Camping Safari, 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Arusha?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Arusha?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
