Itinerary
If you’re in the mood for a day trip, a place off the beaten path were tourists and locals mingle, look no farther. Chemka hot springs or maji moto ( Swahili for hot water) is a little oasis located off of a dusty road about two hours from Arusha. Enjoy the naturally warm water caused by underground geothermal springs. If you are feeling lazy you can bask in the pool or, if you‘re are feeling more adventurous, you can swim or jump from the rope swing. After you are done swimming, you can enjoy some local food cooked fresh for you. Our personal favorite is chips mayai, which is basically a French fry omelette. What’s not to love? As you are approaching Moshi keep your eyes open because every so often the clouds part and you can catch a glimpse of the iconic Mt. Kilimanjaro! End of the Day Trip: Carry the tranquility and revitalization with you as you continue your Tanzanian adventure or depart with memories that will last a lifetime.

We had a great day with Hillary visiting the hot springs. He is professional, knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed spending the day with him. The hot springs are off the beaten path (a bumpy ride for some) but worth the detour. They are an oasis in the middle of nowhere. The water is cool and crystal clear, and we were lucky that it wasn’t very busy while we were there. It was the perfect way to relax after our safari. We hope to come back some day!
Hillary was a great tour guide. He was professional, knowledgeable and we enjoyed spending the day with him. The hot springs are cool, refreshing, and beautiful. It was a perfect way to end our safari in Tanzania. We hope to return again some day!
Had a lovely relaxing day after a bumpy ride getting there. Not hot water, but very refreshing. Little fish nibble at your dead skin! Loved it.
We are very happy to hear from you and we are very thank you for coming with us to hot spring. As the place called hot spring by the name but water is warm and not hot. But very worm especial when the outside temperature is cold, which the local people called it Maji moto in swahili word which means the hot water but not hot as the name states.
We went on the hot spring tour and had a very good time. Hillary could answer all our questions and was a very good driver. We also stopped by a beautiful waterfall.
