Was just sleeping at this paradis - This is the hidden gem of Africa that worth the long bumpy ride from Boma. A t first it is like you are going to the mid of no-where but after a certain considerable notice of a tall green bush you start to understand that you are not completely lost. The people coming here are many and I knew that from the road itself. We spent a couple of hours here. It was nice to have some barbeque chicken and French fries that were locally made by a local chef. The drinks were of many sorts from hard liquor to soft drinks. We like the way everything was prepared by Burigi Chato safaris including sleeping at this paradise.

Swim and Overnight in the Chemka hot springs - Ooooh!! Words can not be used to explain about the time that we spent there. There were many people and everyone enjoyed everything. My trip was well arranged and as I opted to sleep at this place I was happy that there were tents and I was not given an extra charge for renting the gear I am thankful I chose this company. I swam in the springs even at night when the water was much more warmer. I learnt that this place was very cool and had the kindest of people and my company I booked with was very supportive to make my experience better.

I was herMore fun with very affordable price - I was here and had a great time. This place is located few Kilometers from Moshi and the Kilimanjaro international airport. The day trip was so nice. I enjoyed the trip as well the pricing was very low at 2usd. I landed at Kilimanjaro airport was picked up then we started of our experience by going to the springs. The water was very warm and everyone happy. We were glad to find Burigi Chato Safaris who took us there whilst offering a very affordable price.

Chemka kikuletwa - You can have your meal at the edge of the water while sitting on the benches set up for the purpose of having guests. The restaurant sells bears and soft drinks. There are many flies including the butterflies and dragon flies they hang around the drizzling water of the pond. I think this is one of the best places in Tanzania. The rope for swinging mimic Tazan’s rope in the Jungle. If you stay still you will be surrounded by fish.

Cheka Kikuletwa trip trust worthy tour operation - You really do not need a tour guide to get there. But, for safety and time consumption book with a trust worthy tour operation company. I went there for camping and swimming my stay was all well-arranged and I did have to think of many things including the directions, entrance and camping gear. Offline downloaded Google maps can help you to get here though but, you should think of your security as well because the place is in the middle of no-where.

Excellent place to visit after kilimanjaro - The place is an excellent place to visit right after you come from Mount Kilimanjaro. The water was cold when I was there. It was clear and there was a strong current. I advice that you are and experienced swimmer before crossing the red rope they kept for security purposes. It is a little oasis in the mid of the semi-desert. It has little fish that helps eating the dry skin on your legs. The dream of the water comes from Kilimanjaro.

We visited chemka hot spring with burigi chato safaris - It is located far in the no bushes side of moshi. I was glad to be here. It is a beautiful place for relaxing and swimming. The little fish kept embarrassing me with their tickles. But, otherwise they were sweet some people say they eat the dry skin then that is what makes the tickles. But, I am not sure I have the dry skin though. Anyways they do not nag you when you make moves. There is swinging rope which can be a cool way of make an entrance to the waters that you can argue are made for relaxing purposes. The place here can give you a very refreshing experience. They make barbeque and café area that sells food and cold drinks is always open
