Arusha to Chemka Hot Springs Escape

Pick up from your hotel in Arusha Town at 08:00 am, then drive for two hours to Rundugai near Boma Ng'ombe, arriving at the Chemka / Maji Moto Hot Springs. This scenic drive takes you off the tourist trail and offers a glimpse into local life, including bustling markets and local farms.

On arrival at this oasis of its kind, you will spend a few hours soaking in the pleasantly warm waters, swinging on the rope swing if you care for a little adrenaline activity, and relaxing in the sun-dappled shade of the trees. Lunch will be served at Chemka Hot Springs.

No accommodation. End of tour.
