Discover Relaxation at Chemka Hot Springs Campsite

Getting There

• Public Transport

  From Moshi town, head to the Moshi Bus Station, located near the center of town. Look for a bus that goes to 'Rundugai' or 'Chemka' (ask locals if unsure). The fare is typically around 2000 TZS. The journey takes about 30-45 minutes. Ask the bus conductor to drop you off at the Chemka Hot Springs turnoff. It’s a well-known stop.

• Walking

  Once you are dropped off at the Chemka Hot Springs turnoff, you will need to walk approximately 3-4 kilometers to reach the hot springs campsite. Follow the dirt road that leads into the bush. Keep an eye out for signage or ask locals for directions to the hot springs. The walk should take about 30-45 minutes.

• Bicycle Rental

  Alternatively, you can rent a bicycle in Moshi. After getting to the Moshi Bus Station, head to a bicycle rental shop nearby (ask locals for recommendations). Ride towards Rundugai, following the main road. After about 30 minutes, look for the Chemka Hot Springs turnoff. The ride is approximately 10-12 kilometers from Moshi and should take about an hour.

• Motorbike Taxi (Boda Boda)

  For a quicker option, you can hire a motorbike taxi (known as a Boda Boda) from Moshi town. Agree on the price beforehand (it should be around 20,000-30,000 TZS). The motorbike driver will take you directly to Chemka Hot Springs, which is about a 20-30 minute ride. Ensure you wear a helmet and follow safety precautions.
