Driving

Most of the land border posts close at night (notably Ngoma in the Caprivi region and Buitepos on the Trans-Kalahari), so either time yourself well or prepare to camp near the border. However the border officials tend to be friendly and efficient. The two main border posts from South Africa (Ariamsvlei & Noordower) are open 24 hours. We have compiled a complete list of border posts and opening times visit.
