Tshipise

Tshipise is a town in Vhembe District Municipality in the Limpopo province of South Africa.

Formerly spelt Chipise, the name is said to be derived from Tshivenḓa “tshisima tsha u fhisa”, ‘hot spring’, referring to the mineral springs at 65 °C.

[2] Tshipise is best known for the resort, Tshipise a Forever Resort, that provides refuge for the Swaeltjies (Swallows), the nickname given to pensioned people travelling north to Tshipise a Forever Resort for the winter months.

The Swaeltjies stay at the resort's caravan park mostly from April to August as the winter temperatures at Tshipise is around 24 °C during the day, making it a perfect winter vacation destination.
