Upon arrival, the choice is yours. Delight in a moment at the springs, absorbing the serene blue waters and the vibrant greenery of the surrounding forest.

The water source, originating from Mount Kilimanjaro itself, adds a refreshing touch. For those seeking a bit of adventure, why not indulge in some fun on the rope swing? After all, playtime isn't exclusive to kids!

While the pond can reach depths of up to 8 meters in some areas, its crystal-clear waters allow you to see straight to the bottom. Enjoy your lunch beneath the shade of trees or discover your own secluded spot. There's ample time to spot the wildlife that also frequents the Chemka Hot Springs.
