Chemka Hot Springs Campsite — Hotel in Kilimanjaro

Nestled in the thick of the Rundugai Village, about 38 kms away from Moshi, Tanzania, this hot spring is like a hidden gem of an oasis in the savage, wild desert. The closest airport is the Kilimanjaro International Airport,about 25 kms away from Rundugai. As one heads along the African scrubland with acacia trees and baobabs along the way, towards the Kikuletwa Chemka Hotsprings, one sees out of nowhere, bushes and shrubs blanketing the Hotsprings. The road leading to the spring is rough and bumpy, nowhere giving the tiniest signs of a secret amazement. The water is a blend of blue and green, turquoise shades. At one end of the spring, where the water is shallow, there are doctor fishes that eat the dead skin off the feet.

There is a nominal entrance fee to get into the park. There are a lot of vendors that will offer you food, chairs and tubes to use in the water for a reasonable charge.

The reason I'm giving 2 less stars, although its a beautiful natural site, there is not much done to protect it. Very crowded with lots of food vendors that has polluted the area. The food stalls are so congested right by the springs. No private change rooms. Could have been better managed and organized to make this beautiful place last forever in its natural state for generations to come to appreciate...
