“Chemka” means bubbling or boiling — a fitting name for this enchanting mineral spring fed by underground waters from Mount Kilimanjaro. The crystal-clear pool, framed by towering fig and palm trees, offers a refreshing swim at around 26°C. Visitors can snorkel, sunbathe, or simply relax in the shade, making it one of Tanzania’s most serene natural retreats.
Located about 40 km from Moshi (roughly a 1-hour drive), the springs are hidden within lush forest and surrounded by African scrubland. The pond is deep (up to 10 meters) yet so transparent that you can always see the bottom. It’s an ideal spot for swimming, picnicking, or even camping overnight. With luck, you may spot playful monkeys in the treetops above.
