Chinyunyu Hot Springs

This week's Let's Explore show was packed with Adventure. Our crew headed East to the Chinyunyu Hot springs to record our Let's Explore Show there. The Chinyunyu is round about two hours away from Lusaka. Located in the Rufunsa District, just a few minutes from Chongwe Market is this amazing site. 

On our way there, we met a lovely German couple who are driving through Zambia on their tour of Southern Africa. There next stop is Malawi. The couple was driving a mercedes benz truck which has a kitchen (fitted with a gas stove), water from taps, toilets and of course beds for them to spend their night. We had the privilege of interviewing this couple and we took some pictures with them. 





We finally got to the Chinyunyu Hot springs and there we got to meet the site caretaker who told us about the Hot springs. People go there to wash in the water as they believe that touching this water will cleanse them of all their troubles, people also go there for prayer as they believe that this site is a gift from God. We also got to see some kids walk through this very hot water and when we asked them how they could do that, they said that they go there everyday to practice. The water from the Hot springs flows into the nearby Chibuyu Street. The water comes from the ground and is as hot as a cup of coffee(metaphorically). The charges are only K8 for Zambian Adults and K4 for Zambian Children. It is a must see. So go ahead, plan your trip to the Chinyunyu Hot Springs.
