CHEMKA HOTSPRINGS: Tucked between Arusha and Moshi, a hidden paradise invites you to enjoy a refreshing swim before or after your Mount Kilimanjaro climb or safari adventure. As you recover from your treks, relax with a day tour to Chemka Hot Springs, also known as Kikuletwa Hot Springs, located just an hour from Arusha or 30 minutes from Moshi Town—a must-visit gem in Tanzania.
LAKE CHALA: A 95-meter-deep crater lake on the Tanzania-Kenya border, is richer in depth than Lake Victoria and features colors from deep blue to green, currently more green due to algae, offering a serene experience as you stroll down the 100-meter crater rim to dip your feet in its cool, shimmering waters.
MATERUNI WATERFALLS: The impressive waterfall, one of the tallest in the area, plunges 70 meters of crystal-clear glacier water into its basin. The scenic trail, winding through tropical rainforest and past farms, offers breathtaking views of Kibo and Moshi town; despite the demanding hike requiring sturdy boots, it’s an ideal choice for those with limited time who wish to experience the natural beauty of Tanzania.
KILIMANJARO HIKE: Africa’s highest peak and often called the “Roof of Africa,” stands at 5,895 meters and is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. The park’s lower slopes are covered in montane forests and moorlands, home to diverse wildlife, and offer a spectacular five-to-seven-day hike through alpine landscapes, with additional northern attractions including Mount Meru and the remote lakes Natron and Eyasi.
