To be more precise, Chemka hot spring is located on a village called Boma Ngombe which is found in Arusha region. It is about 70 Km away from Arusha City and takes about two-hour drive to go there. The place is so beautiful with blue coloured water. It is also near Mount Kilimanjaro in Moshi, the tallest free standing mountain in the world.
The historical part of Chemka Hot Springs tells us that many years ago the ancestors would come to the oasis to pray there for all their troubles. They believe there are spirits there. They will come and say whispered prayers, they will speak long to their souls, they will realize their dreams, and everything they have prayed for will come to pass. Just like those who can’t find a good husband, wife, job, and other personal issues, go ahead and pray, Exploring the Hot water Springs of the Tanzania wildlife

Apart from this significant hot spring named Chemka hot spring, we do have some few more hot springs in Tanzania. This includes Galanasi hot water Spring, Kikuletan hot water spring, and Kalambo hot water spring. Kilambo Hot Springs is the name of a group of five hot springs located in Buseklo, Mbeya region. It is one of the tourist attractions located in this hilly region of southern Tanzania. Surprisingly, there are indeed differences in the salinity of the springs that make up Kirambo Hot Springs, with the Healing Basin ranking first in terms of salinity. In its pool-like structure, Therapectic’s hot water serves both tourists and locals. Tourists love to explore its uniqueness, while scientists use it for research purposes, and indigenous people appreciate the proper use of local medicines provided by its hot water. The wonders of Kilambo hot springs don’t stop until you see naturally designed rocks that look like a place to sit/rest while admiring the extraordinary view of Kilambo’s ecology. This is complemented by the supernatural healing powers of Kilambo water, as it has the power to cure certain skin conditions. Skin conditions that Kilambo water can treat include common fevers, rashes, skin ulcers, and so forth.
Speaking of Kikuletan Hot spring, it is a unique hot water spring which can be found between the Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions, with a less than an hour drive from the main Arusha-Namanga road through its main road. However, if you plan to travel any day between the months of May and June, the drive through sunflower fields will beautify your trip to Kikuletan Spring. Located between Arusha and Moshi, it offers year-round opportunities to enjoy stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and its sister, Mount Meru.

Not only will this group of Maasai be your hospitality, but they will also give you an almost free cultural tour during your stay in Kikuletan , Exploring the Hot water Springs of the Tanzania wildlife
And finally we have the Galanas hot water spring. Galanas Hot Springs is a sulphur-rich hot spring that stretches two kilometres after crossing the iconic river. So the only way to get it is to take a daladala to Amboni caves and walk from Amboni to Galanas. The spring is named after a Greek sisal grower, Christopher Galanas, who is credited with being the first to discover and declare the spring’s potential. Due to its high sulphur content, Galanas water becomes unsuitable for ordinary domestic use, except in exceptional circumstances, such as locals using it for local ritual and medicinal purposes. Despite the inconveniences, once at the hot springs of Galanas, you will discover the hidden treasures of the Tanga region. The treasures, starting with the beauty of the coconut palms and ending with the long-awaited beach scene of manatees, seem to be popular with tourists. This goes hand in hand with activities such as climbing coconut trees in search of coconut water, making locally produced coconut wine, and most importantly, tasting that local coconut wine.
Around the world, hot springs are popular tourist destinations, and many spring up nearby. Of course, a major attraction is their awe-inspiring natural beauty. Another is to soak in soothing mineral-rich water. People have been bathing in hot springs for thousands of years. This practice is known to promote relaxation and general well-being, among several other health claims. Hot pot lovers enjoy traveling from one hot spring to another, alone or in groups. But hot pot is a dangerous practice. This resulted in serious injury and death. All in all, hot water springs are among the oldest, and yet the most multipurpose feature once Tanzania safari tourism is of concern.
