Ai-Ais Thermal Hot Springs & Spa

The 60°C mineral-rich springs that give Ai-Ais its name have been drawing visitors — from ancient San to modern hikers — for thousands of years. The spa complex includes an indoor thermal bath directly at the hot spring source, a large outdoor thermal pool and treatment facilities. The waters are particularly therapeutic for arthritis and joint pain. After 5 days on the canyon floor hauling a pack through boulders and sand, the Ai-Ais pool is among the most deserved soaks in African adventure travel.
