NATURAL & HISTORICAL SITES

10 : Hanglip

Viewed here, this stunning outcrop marks the turning point where the mountain range runs north west all the way through to Masebe Nature Reserve.  The peak rises to an altitude of 1768 m and was a prominent landmark for early European travellers returning from the Northern frontier.  Among them was the 19th Century artist, explorer, prospector and writer Thomas Baines, who recorded the peak in his journal. The route passes through the Entabeni Conservancy below Hanglip.  Drivers are free to pass through, but must stop at the control gate and for the 5km transit should respect the speed limit and should not alight from their vehicles.
