The Amboni Hot Springs are natural thermal sites near Tanga in northeastern Tanzania, located close to the remarkable Amboni Caves — the most extensive limestone cave system in East Africa — making for an unusual combination of geothermal and geological tourism. The chloride-rich warm water emerges from the ancient Precambrian basement of the Tanga hinterland and is used by local communities for bathing. Tanzania's Indian Ocean coast setting, with its Swahili cultural heritage and proximity to Zanzibar, provides a rich backdrop for a visit to these understated natural thermal sites.
Insider tip — The Kikuletwa springs are a crystal-clear turquoise oasis after a safari.
