Chinyunyu Hot Springs in Zambia is a natural thermal site where chloride-rich water at around 80°C emerges from the earth north of Lusaka in a rural landscape of miombo woodland and subsistence agriculture. The springs, popular with Lusaka residents as a day trip destination, represent one of Zambia's most accessible geothermal sites and have been developed with modest bathing facilities in the hot spring stream. The miombo woodland setting, with its characteristic brachystegia trees and remarkable birdlife, provides a typically Central African natural backdrop for this approachable Zambian hot spring experience.
