Arusha, Chemka Hot Spring then Departure

After long days of trekking, you will have time to refresh and enjoy swimming.
Maji Moto, known locally as Kikuletwa Hot Springs, is a paradisiacal oasis amidst the Tanzanian Savannah and offers captivating, bounty-styled views, crystal-clean water, and dense vegetation around. Located in Moshi (Tanzania)— the main climbing hub of the region —Chemka Hot Springs is the best place to visit after a hike or a safari adventure.

Chemka Oasis is a unique phenomenon —it is the only place in Tanzania (and most likely in the whole of East Africa), where the groundwater actively interacts with geothermal sources, forming a number of small lakes with warm, never-stagnating water, whose purity is not inferior to the best Dominican or Maldivian resorts.

After the exploration and adventure trip, you will be driven to the airport ready to depart having enjoyable memories.
