Detailed Daily Program

Leave your Moshi accommodation in the morning for the drive to Kikuletwa, commonly known as Chemka Hot Springs. The road passes through the Kilimanjaro lowlands and rural settlements, giving you time to see the countryside before reaching the spring area. On arrival, spend time beside the clear blue-green water beneath large trees and dense vegetation.
The spring is known for clear groundwater and sections of the natural pool are deep, so swimming should always follow local guidance. You can swim at a relaxed pace, float in the spring, sit under the trees or use the rope swing where it is available and safe to do so. The clarity of the water makes the deeper sections visible, but depth varies and care is required around roots and slippery edges.
Lunch is taken in the shaded area when it is included in the confirmed day-trip arrangement. There is no fixed wildlife program at Chemka; the focus is the natural spring, the surrounding vegetation and a relaxed day outside town. In the afternoon, change into dry clothes, collect your belongings and drive back through the Kilimanjaro countryside to Moshi.
