Drive through sugar cane plantations and Maasai grazing land to the Chemka hot springs. The spring-fed pool is crystal clear and turquoise, surrounded by fig trees and palms, and the water is comfortably warm all year.

Spend a few hours swimming, relaxing in the shade and enjoying a picnic lunch before driving back to your hotel. It is the perfect way to rest tired legs after a Kilimanjaro climb.
