About 40 kilometers from Moshi to Arusha, in a village called Chemka there is underground springs with warm water. The water forms a clear and clean pond which is ideal for swimming. The pond is very deep, in some places up to 7 meters, but the water is so clear that you can see the bottom well all the time. The pond is situated under lush trees. On the shore you can camp, enjoy your snacks and let yourself dry after swimming.
We leave from accommodation place early in the morning. The road to the springs is very bumpy and winding so driving takes more than one hour. During the trip you can enjoy wonderful sceneries and see the authentic Tanzanian life as it is.
When we arrive to the hot springs you can swim, relax, eat your lunch and enjoy the sun. We set the hammock between the trees and hang a swing above the spring. We unpack our masks and snorkels and everything is ready for one day fun. While you are swimming Louis can be preparing the barbeque for you. Everywhere around the springs you can see baboons and different monkeys.
Weekend trip
The program in this trip is the same as in one day trip but instead of driving home we set up the tent. We make a camp fire and prepare the dinner together. Then we can chill out around the fire, enjoy our barbeque and drinks and make stories until we feel tired. There will be guard staying awake the whole night.
In the morning we will wake up with the sun (or little bit later) and prepare a breakfast. We can still swim and chill out in the hot springs and prepare a simple lunch before we drive back home.
