1. Starting Point: Moshi

Moshi is the closest major town to Chemka Hot Springs, so starting from Moshi makes sense. It is about 1 to 1.5 hours drive from Moshi to the hot springs. You can take a private car, taxi, or even join a group tour.

2. Starting Point: Arusha

If you're coming from Arusha, which is roughly 2 to 3 hours from Moshi, you can take a shared minibus (daladala) or hire a private car. Once in Moshi, you'll continue by car to Chemka.

• Swimwear for the hot spring.
• Water shoes if you're sensitive to the rocky bottom.
• Sunscreen, as the area can get hot and sunny.
• Towel and snacks for when you take a break from swimming.
• Cash for entrance fees and local purchases.
