Scam

It's a scam. A water hole and no more. The people who manage just think about making you pay clubs and buoys. Nothing to see! Pass your way

Operator response

Dear Agnes, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the hot springs. However, we would like to clarify that we are a tour operator and do not manage or own the hot springs location itself. We arrange guided visits and transportation for guests who choose to book through us. It appears that your visit may not have been organized through our company, and therefore we unfortunately had no opportunity to assist or ensure your experience met expectations. We always encourage guests to contact us directly if there are concerns, as we are committed to providing honest information and quality service. If this review was posted in error on our page, we kindly ask you to consider updating it so it reflects the correct provider. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Tarry Adventures.

Underwhelmed

The word “hot” does not describe the springs. Part was lukewarm and part was cold. I would skip this. Tubes cost $4 which you’ll use at most 45 minutes since your tour group is on a schedule. And it is a bumpy 20 kilometer ride which made the safari roads look much better.

Operator response

Dear reviewer, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Chemka Hot Springs. We’d like to clarify that this review appears on our page, but it refers to the general site rather than our guided tour service. At Tarry Adventures & Safaris, we organize well-planned trips using comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles such as Toyota Noah and Alphard — spacious and ideal for short journeys. While the final section of the road is naturally unpaved, the ride remains smooth when using proper vehicles and experienced drivers. Our tours are carefully communicated and coordinated to set the right expectations for our guests — from the best times to visit to what to expect on site — ensuring a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience. Warm regards, Peter Tarry Adventures & Safaris

Big ups to John our driver!

John was a great guide and driver! Very knowledgeable about all things Moshi, Kilimanjaro and Tanzania. He was also very accommodating throughout the trip! We hope to collaborate with John again when we come back for Kilimanjaro!

What to do on a short trip around Moshi, Tanzania 🇹🇿?

Kikuleta HotSprings also known as Chemka HotSprings, is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The water forms a crystal-clear oasis which is ideal for swimming and relaxing while small fish nibble gently at your feet 🤭. The water is not exceptionally warm but refreshing and it is as deep as 7-10meters. Floaters are available on rental at TZS 5,000 ($2 / €2). Located closer to Moshi than Arusha (1.5hour drive from Moshi to Arusha and a 2hour drive from Arusha), Kikuleta HotSprings is awaiting for you to come and enjoy the ‘jungle’ experience and serenity of the location. The highlight of this experience is the rope tree swing which adds a playful twist to the adventure. The rope is secured to a sturdy tree branch. Entrance Fee: ▪️EA Citizens & Residents: TZS 7,000 ( $3 / €2 ) ▪️Non-Residents / Foreigners: $5 for ALT and $2 for CHD. I had an amazing visit to Chemka HotSprings last weekend. Thank you Tanzania for this rejuvenating experience 🇹🇿 🫶.

Take mask and fins

Amazing place! Cristal clear and warm water! If you like snorkelling or freediving, strongly recommend you to take all your equipment with you. Here you can find two deep caves with strong flows coming from them. Toilet and changing rooms are there.

Must-visit when in the Moshi area.

The Hot Springs are a true gem, the water was super clean/clear and had a pleasant temperature. The amount of tourists there was ok, not too crowded. There are small fish in the water that sometimes go to your feet and nibble in them, but otherwise they pose no danger.
