Hanglip, Mountain summit in Vhembe District, Limpopo, South Africa
The Hanglip summit rises 1,719 meters above sea level within the central Soutpansberg range, featuring natural forests and commercial pine plantations across 354 hectares.
Fort Botha was established near Hanglip during territorial conflicts, with its ruins now located near sacred burial grounds of the Singos and vhaDzanani people.
The mountain carries deep meaning in local languages, known as Hanglip meaning 'hanging lip' in Afrikaans and Songozwi-thavha khulu ya VhaDzanani in Venda.
Visitors can access overnight accommodations at the Hanglip trail hut east of the peak, while a dedicated picnic area serves day travelers on the southern slope.
The summit contains a radar station and consists of tilted geological layers including glacial till deposits, red quartzite, and grey andesite lava intrusions.
