The journey in focus

Clear water. A slower day near Moshi.

Travel through the countryside to Chemka, also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs. Shady trees and the spring pool offer a relaxed change of pace after travelling or trekking.

Despite the name, this is a refreshing spring pool rather than a hot bathing pool. Enjoy the setting, take time for lunch and swim within your ability.
