Botswana Self-Drive Safari: Botswana Border Post Times

Birding in Botswana.

When self-driving into Botswana from neighbouring countries give yourself enough time to clear customs and immigration at border posts, so you can get to your destination on time.


Always remember that there are two crossings each border control point, an exit and an entry. Cutting it fine at exit point will not guarantee entry into Botswana – you may be forced to sleep at the border post.

Also remember to make sure that you have the correct vehicle papers before you get to the border control point. To assist you in planning your trip here is a list of all border crossings and times they open and close.
