Rundugai Hot Springs Swim and Picnic Experience

Enjoy the Rundugai hot water springs (Kikuletwa Hot Springs), also known as Chemka Hot Springs, an unexpected paradise hidden in the desert scrub outside the town of Boma. Situated about 35 kilometres from Moshi in the heart of the Sanya Plains, the Rundugai Springs are an extraordinary phenomenon, rushing up from underground in the middle of the parched and dusty landscape.

This is a wonderful place to visit for a picnic and a swim. On a clear day, you can also witness views of Kilimanjaro. The crystal-clear, turquoise waters, surrounded by palm trees and winding roots, create a picturesque spot for a relaxing afternoon swim.

The spring is actually quite large and more than 6 meters deep in some places, although you can still see the bottom through the crystal-clear water no matter where you are. Wrap your arms around one of the roots and let the water flow by as you drift off into a daydream, listening to the monkeys and birds in the trees.
