Kikuletwa (Chemka) Hot Springs
A turquoise natural pool hidden among trees, made for swimming, relaxing and escaping the ordinary.
Kikuletwa Hot Springs, widely known as Chemka, is a natural swimming attraction surrounded by trees and greenery in the Kilimanjaro region. Its clear turquoise-colored water and shaded setting create an oasis-like atmosphere that is very different from the savannah landscapes associated with northern Tanzania. The main experience is simple: swim, relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. The pool is also an attractive place for photography because of its vivid water and distinctive tree roots around the shoreline. It can make an excellent break after a safari, mountain trek or long travel day. Chemka is particularly suitable for travelers who want to slow down and spend time outdoors without a demanding itinerary. Depending on the visit and conditions, travelers can swim, relax, enjoy a picnic and photograph the surroundings.
