Kwashushu Hot Springs 
 

Kwashushu Hot Springs is located In the Tugela Valley below Kranskop in the Maphumulo Municipality.  Although there are no formal camping facilities, many families have made their annual treks and set up camp at their sites at Shu Shu during July for generations.

The development of a 28-bed lodge is proposed in the immediate vicinity of the Kwashushu Hot Springs, which is on an island in the Tugela River. Additional facilities include camping sites, a craft market, a game reserve, tourist trails and water-based recreational activities. The hot springs and areas of scenic beauty are the main attractions. The island currently appeals to a niche market, attracting 500 campers through the Campers Association during July each year.

 

The project offers the potential to employ up to 15 people. However, true ownership of the island needs to be established. A bridge to the island from the banks must be constructed to ensure year-round access to the island, while road access also needs to be upgraded.
