Day Trip – Chemka Hotsprings

Experience a slice of local life with a visit to the idyllic oasis that is Kikuleta/ Rundungai Hotsprings. Better known as ‘Maji Moto’, this gorgeous geothermal spring is a popular playground with locals and international visitors alike. Let’s plan your trip to the Chemka Hot Springs (Maji Moto) Tour. You’ll depart from your Arusha or Moshi hotel and make the two-hour drive to Maji Moto. This scenic drive takes you off the tourist trail and offers a glimpse into local life: bustling markets, local farms, and the lake.
You’ll then spend a few hours soaking in the pleasantly warm waters, swinging on the rope swing, relaxing in the sun-dappled shade of the trees, and feasting on local favorites such as chips mayai (a French fry omelette) and nyama Choma (BBQ). After your fun in the sun, you’ll return to your lodge or continue on to your next destination.
