Serval Wildlife and Chemka Hot Springs Day Tour from Moshi or Arusha

Combine Serval Wildlife Sanctuary and Chemka Hot Springs in one full day from Moshi or Arusha with wildlife viewing and a relaxed swim.

Serval Wildlife and Chemka Hot Springs Day Tour from Moshi or Arusha Overview

The source allows about two to three hours at the sanctuary and lists supervised wildlife viewing, photography and conservation information. At Chemka, the focus shifts to swimming in the clear spring, the rope swing and time under the shade trees.

The supplied price is USD 360 for one traveler and USD 250 per person for two travelers.
