It is the definitive excursion for voyagers desiring deeper natural connections and unmatched bespoke experiences.
Your day of relaxation begins in the morning as your guide from Nas Royal Safaris collects you from your hotel in Arusha. Leaving the city behind, you will embark on a scenic drive driving past small towns and sprawling sugar cane plantations. On clear days, the route treats you to stunning, distant views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru.
The final stretch of the journey winds through a dry, dusty landscape dotted with ancient baobab trees and Maasai villages, leading you unexpectedly to a lush, green tropical oasis hidden away in the semi-arid plains.
Upon arriving at Chemka Hot Springs, you will be greeted by crystal-clear, turquoise geothermal waters surrounded by a dense canopy of overarching fig trees. Despite being called "hot springs," the water is actually refreshingly warm and lukewarm—perfect for a therapeutic dip after a dusty drive.
Spend your afternoon swimming in the deep natural pools, relaxing on the overhanging roots, or releasing your inner adventurer by using the rope swing to jump into the water. For an extra treat, dangle your feet at the shallow edges and let the tiny doctor fish give you a natural exfoliation massage.
After an active swim, enjoy a freshly prepared picnic lunch or savor local Tanzanian delicacies like Chips Mayai or Nyama Choma from local vendors, spending the rest of your time relaxing in the shade of this tranquil hidden paradise.
In the late afternoon, gather your things and begin the comfortable drive back to Arusha. Soak in the peaceful rural landscapes as the golden hour sun casts its light across the plains of northern Tanzania.
You will arrive back at your hotel in the evening, feeling thoroughly refreshed, rejuvenated, and carrying beautiful memories of one of Tanzania's finest hidden natural wonders with Nas Royal Safaris.
