BORDER POSTS

((photo: h t J Johann h Groenewald) G ld)

BOTSWANA IS CONSIDERED “AFRICA LITE” which means that when you travel here you shouldn’t encounter an excessive amount of African bureaucracy. In fact, you’ll find that most Botswana border posts are efficiently run, although they might be less sophisticated than some found in South Africa and Namibia. If you’re courteous and friendly, you should receive a warm welcome. If you have all the necessary paperwork, you shouldn’t have any trouble.

TIP: Remember that border officials don’t always apply the rules consistently. Nine times out of ten you might see officials bending a rule or overlooking a rule or regulation, but then on the tenth time, you might encounter someone who applies the rules to the letter. Be prepared for the tenth time!

You can travel Botswana for a maximum of 90 days per year, thereafter you will have to apply at the Ministry of Home Affairs for permission to extend your stay.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED When you travel by car, make sure that you have the following documents in hand: • A valid passport. On arrival it should have six months of life before it expires. Double check that it’s stamped with the correct date at immigration when you enter the country.

• Original vehicle registration certificate (a certified copy is acceptable). Drivers whose vehicles are still financed by a bank won’t have the original vehicle registration document so would have to use a copy of this certificate signed by a Commissioner of Oaths.

• If the car registration number on your registration papers is not the same as on the vehicle number plate (for instance if it was pre-owned) you must also present the registration paper from which your licence disk was cut out.

• If you are not the registered owner of the vehicle (i.e. either it is still being financed by the bank, you are renting a vehicle or you are driving a friend’s vehicle), you must have a letter from the financial institution, company or friend giving you authorization to take the vehicle across the border. This letter must stipulate dates for which you are allowed to take the vehicle out of the country and must also be signed by the owner and a Commissioner of Oaths.

• In the past Botswana required a Police Clearance Certificate but since 2015 the South African Police Service no longer issues Vehicle Clearance Certificates for tourist cross border travel; these are only required if the vehicle is being permanently imported into Botswana.

• Drivers of vehicles arriving in Botswana from countries outside the Southern African Customs Union (Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, Swaziland and Namibia) must have a Carnet de Passage for the vehicle.

• A Yellow fever certificate for each traveller who has come from an infected area.

• There have been reports of Botswana border authorities refusing entry to South Africa registered vehicles if these have a lapsed licence disc, even if such a disc is still covered by the 21-day grace period.

46

TIP: Keep all your official documents together in a plastic envelope. Print your vehicle details (like licence number and make) in large letter type and put that, together with your registration paper, back to front in the envelope so that it is readable through the envelope. If you have a trailer, put its detail to be visible if you turn the envelope around.

Whenever you are asked for your vehicle or trailer details, you just hold your handy envelope against the window for the official to read.

BORDER CROSSING PROCEDURE The basic procedure for crossing a Botswana border by land is as follows: 1. The driver and all passengers must present themselves to immigration first to get their passports stamped.

Always check that your passport has been stamped according to the correct dates of your stay and have it amended immediately if a mistake has been made.

2. Each passport holder older than 16 in your group will be required to fill in an Arrival/Departure form (ask for the blue form), so take a pen with you.

3. At immigration the driver must ask for the vehicle register and complete the details. Have all the required vehicle documents ready. The driver will receive a gate pass.

4. Proceed to customs. Here the driver needs to pay the following border charges and get the stamp on the gate pass: • Motor vehicle insurance for a powered vehicle, valid for three months: BWP 50. (Not applicable to trailers.)

• National Road Fund (NRF), valid for 12 months: BWP 50. (Applicable to cars and trailers.)

• Road Permit for vehicles up to 3 500 kg (RTP): BWP 52 per entry. (Not applicable to trailers.)

5. Declare all your valuables at customs. Have a list of all your cameras and electronic equipment with serial numbers and values ready; it will be much easier to complete the forms. Make sure you declare all your equipment at all the border posts otherwise you might be liable for paying import duty when you arrive back in your home country.

6. You can now proceed to the border gate. Have your gate pass (signed by both the customs and immigration departments) together with your passports ready for inspection. If your gate pass is not stamped, you will be sent back to the border post for the additional stamp!

TIP: Not all Botswana border posts are equipped to accept payments and issue receipts for all the vehicle fees. Don’t worry too much about that. If you are stopped anywhere and asked for the receipts, the official will check your passport to see at which border you crossed and will pardon you if that particular border is not equipped to take payments. Note, you’ll have to pay the outstanding fee if you exit at a border post which has a customs office.

CUSTOMS It is illegal to have any of the following prohibited goods in your possession: • Narcotic, habit-forming drugs and related substances in any form.

• Military firearms, ammunition and explosives.

• Indecent and obscene material such as pornographic books, magazines, films, videos, DVDs and software.

Botswana is a tourist-friendly country and allows visitors to bring personal items like binoculars, cameras, clothing, jewellery, etc. into the country without having to pay customs duty, but note the restrictions on the following consumables: Cigarettes Cigars Tobacco Wine Spirits or other alcoholic beverages Perfume Eau de Toilet

200 20 250 g 2 litres 1 litre 50 ml 250 ml

Other than your personal items, travellers can take new or used goods to the value of not more than the equivalent of 3 000 South African rand into Botswana duty free.

When passing through Customs, you are required to declare all goods in your possession on a baggage declaration document to a customs official on duty.

Botswana has limitations to the quantity of food for personal use that you can take into the country: Products

Maximum Quantity

Red meat, goat/lamb Poultry meat Tinned poultry meat Eggs Fresh milk Maize and maize products Wheat Pulses (beans, peas, lentils) Sorghum and sorghum products Cabbage Onions Potatoes Oranges Tomatoes Rape Spinach Bread loaves

25 kg per family 5 kg per person 20 kg per person 36 eggs per person 2 litres per person 25 kg per person 25 kg per person 25 kg per person 25 kg per person 1 bag per person 1 bag per person 1 bag per person 1 bag per person 1 box per person 2 kg per person 2 kg per person 6 per week

TIP: When returning to South Africa, any fuel in portable containers will attract import duty. So empty these fuel containers into your vehicle before crossing the border.

A SPECIAL NOTE ON MEAT, FRUIT AND VEGETABLES The regulations regarding the importation of meat, meat products, fruit and vegetables change frequently because they are based on disease outbreaks in the region.

SUGGESTED ROUTES

((photo: h t St Stephen h C Cunliffe) liff )

Botswana Grand Tour (With thanks to Lizette Swart)

THE BOTSWANA GRAND TOUR IS DESIGNED to give you a taste of all the major attractions this magnificent country has to offer. It begins in Maun and then takes you to Central Kalahari, Makgadikgadi, Kasane, Chobe and finally Moremi. It should be noted that a 4WD vehicle is required and the best time to tackle the trip is during the winter months when it’s dry.

Although this leisurely tour is 21 days in extent, you can easily shorten it by reducing your stays at the multi-day stops. Similarly, you could also shorten it by leaving out some stops altogether - for instance, Nxai Pan. While this tour is presented to you in anticlockwise format, there’s nothing to stop you from driving it in a clockwise direction.

WARNING: On some legs of this route you will encounter deep sand, on other legs you will encounter water crossings or mud - in fact, some sections aren’t drivable at all in the wet season. For this reason, an off-road vehicle is required, as well as experience of driving such a vehicle in these sorts of terrain. Some areas are remote and if you should venture off the major routes, you stand a good chance of not seeing anyone for weeks. A breakdown or injury in such an environment can have fatal consequences.

62

DAY 1: ARRIVE IN MAUN (50 km – 1 hour) Chances are, you’ve arrived here after a long drive or sequence of flights so you’ll be tired. For this reason we strongly recommend that you spend your first day and night in Maun; this will allow you to confirm accommodation bookings, shop, refuel and relax. And collect your hire vehicle if you’re using one. When refuelling keep in mind that 4WD vehicles use more fuel than normal in off-road conditions, particularly if towing.

DAYS 2, 3 & 4: DECEPTION PAN (297 km – 7 hours 20 min) It’s a full day’s drive south to your first stop. Famous for its predator sightings – Deception Pan will also put your inner clock onto African time. You have 2 days ahead of you with nothing to do other than watch for game and explore.

Look out for lion, raptors and bat-eared foxes. If you’re

DURATION Maun to Maun - 21 days 1 865 km If driving from and returning to Cape Town, add 2.5 days and 2 100km to your itinerary.

If driving from and returning to Johannesburg, add 1.5 days and 1 100km to your itinerary lucky, on a cool day you might even spot a reclusive honey badger. There’s lots of space here and if you’re visiting in the off-season, you could be here all by yourself. Self-sufficiency is the motto in these parts, so come prepared. The rainy season features mud and water in large amounts so rather visit in the dry months.

If you’re here for full moon, consider yourself very, very lucky. You can’t visit Kubu in the wet season; even in the dry months you must stick to existing tracks lest you break through pan’s dry crust into the mud below. Remember to shop and refuel at Lethlakane. There’s no water or showers at Kubu, only chemical toilets.

DAY 5: KUBU ISLAND (298 km - 4 hours 25 min) Heading east to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, you’re on your way to a place that will forever mark your soul. Kubu Island is a small rocky outcrop on the western edge of Sua Pan, but it’s much more than that. Be here for sunset or sunrise. Take a guided walk. Sit under a baobab at midday and contemplate the vast emptiness surrounding you.

DAYS 6, 7 & 8: NXAI PAN (209 km - 3 hours 55 min) If you travel from Kubu to Nxai Pan via Gweta, the route is mostly hard, bumpy two-spoor track - impassable in the rainy season. If your route is via Lethlakane, you’ll travel on tar (the A3) to the Nxai Pan NP entrance gate; from there it’s sand all the way to South Camp. This area is characterised by flat, open savannah and with its sprinkling of

KGALAGADI

(photo: Frank Höppener)

Its name means place of thirst but that’s no reason to stay away! Best known for its Transfrontier Park, the Kgalagadi region is found in Botswana’s south-western corner, with South Africa to the south and Namibia to the west. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP) makes up the majority of this region however the area north of the park, towards Hukuntsi, also affords the adventurous and self-sufficient overlander some quiet roaming space.

The KTP is a destination best discovered at a leisurely pace so give yourself a few days to uncover its charms. It has become a popular destination for South Africans and this, together with its limited accommodation venues, requires that you make your bookings months in advance, especially for the wilderness camps.

A circular route through the camps is a good idea. Plan your days with long stops at the waterholes and limit your travel (which will be slow) to the early morning and late afternoon. Mabuasehube, a section of the park on the Botswana side, offers up a sparse country: expanses of open savanna, and very basic, unfenced campsites overlooking pans. Kalahari black-maned lions are regular visitors here so keep a lookout.

In recent years reports surfaced that the Botswana government had sold the rights to prospect for shale gas in sizable portions of its side of KTP. Early in 2016, the Botswana Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism dismissed these reports as untrue saying that the government had no intention to issue approvals for fracking in KTP or any other national park.

There are a few interesting sites in the Kgalagadi to visit, like the grave of Hans Schwabe, a German geologist who died in 1958 when he wanted to prospect illegally for diamonds in the Nossob River Valley. Another is the Auchterlonie Museum, on the South African side of the park, which depicts the way farmers used to live in this region before it was proclaimed a national park. Another attraction of this region are the camels used by the police for patrolling the Tsabong area.

It should be noted that high visitor numbers on the South African side of the park have led to a daily vehicle cap for day visitors - at the time of writing it was 20 vehicles per day. Happily, day visitor entry can be booked with the park directly, up to 11 months in advance.

KGALAGADI TRANSFRONTIER PARK (by Peter Derichs) The park straddles the border between South Africa and Botswana and is comprised of two adjoining national parks: Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa and Gemsbok National Park in Botswana (last-mentioned includes Mabuasehube Game Reserve). Approximately three-quarters of the park falls in Botswana.

The park is situated in the Kalahari Desert, part of the arid savanna biome. Grasses dominate the dune fields and there are strands of trees, mainly Camel Thorn, Grey Camel Thorn and Swarthaak. The South African side of the park lies between the Auob and the Nossob (both ephemereal rivers), with extensive dune fields in between. The Botswana side stretches into the Kalahari dune fields interspersed with occasional clay pans.

In good rain years the grasses, especially the Kalahari Sour Grass, proliferate and cover the normally red sand dunes.

When driving on the 4x4 tracks during this time it is advisable to have a mesh covering your radiator, and to make regular stops to clear dry grass from your vehicle’s exhaust pipes.

129

K GA LAG A DI

Kgalagadi TFP (Mabuasehube GR)

At Twee Rivieren/Two Rivers the South African and Botswana authorities share a modern communal administration centre. Visitors to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park book in here with their reservations. Visitors intending to go to the Botswana side will clear customs and immigration and book in on the Botswana side (Two Rivers) for their trip. Visitors from Namibia will clear customs and immigration at Mata Mata.

There are no restrictions on bringing meat and fruit into the park. The Botswana authorities, however, do restrict the amount of meat and related products that can be brought

130

into the country, as per their normal customs regulations.

There should not be any problems for visitors bringing in personal supplies.

It is possible to do a combination of both parks. Tourists wishing to enter the park and traverse within the boundar-

ies of the park and exit at the same point of entry are not required to do immigration control. However, if you want to exit at another point to your point of entry a two day stay in the park is compulsory.

On the South African side of the Kgalagadi there are both fenced and unfenced camps with chalets and camping facilities. On the Botswana side there are only basic camping facilities and all camps are unfenced.

There are two main roads in the park. The first leads from Twee Rivieren up the Auob River to Mata Mata. The second leads from Twee Rivieren up the Nossob River to the Nossob Camp to eventually reach a dead-end at the fence bordering Namibia. There’s no border post here. On the Botswana side there’s a track from Nossob to Mabuasehube, and one from Nossob to Kaa Gate track, as well as wilderness trails.

Secondly, after years and years of grading, sections of the road have been lowered from the surrounding terrain and there are ridges of sand which have built up next to the road. This means that visitors travelling in sedan cars cannot see over these ridges for kilometres on end. For this reason, Sanparks don’t recommend sedan vehicles for visiting this park. To really enjoy all there is to see it is recommended that visitors use a vehicle with a high ground clearance such as a SUV or a 4x2 pick-up. Travelling on the Botswana side is not possible without an off-road vehicle.

The two dry rivers, the Auob and the Nossob, have totally different characteristics. The Auob River is narrower with high calcrete cliffs and dunes on either side. The Nossob River is shallower and wider. Near the Namibian border it is difficult to discern where the banks of the Nossob riverbed are.

The roads in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park are often a source of frustration for visitors. Firstly, although the roads are predominantly sand, corrugation builds up rapidly after they have been graded. These corrugations, although made of soft sand, are enough to shake and rattle every vehicle and its occupants for kilometres on end.

The combination of the dune environment and relatively ample water in the riverbeds makes it possible to sustain fairly large numbers of antelope and predators like lion, leopard, spotted and brown hyena and cheetah. There are no primates or warthogs in the park, but plenty of giraffe.

The park is also well-known for its large population of seasonal and permanent raptors. Owls are often seen. However, it is the variety of smaller animals like jackal, fox, mongoose, meerkat and ground squirrels that makes the Kgalagadi so fascinating.

Makgadikgadi Pans

252 - C3 Two of the seven baobabs to be seen at Baine’s Baobabs on the eastern edge of Kudiakam Pan. (photo: Frank Höppener)

About two million years ago, there was a vast body of water in the middle of the Kalahari Desert, called Lake Makgadikgadi. It’s believed to have covered an area of about 80 000 km2 to a depth of up to 30 metres. As the millennia passed, climate change and cracks in the earth’s crust led to this lake drying up. This in turn, led to the formation of a series of smaller pans separated by sandy desert and rocky islands, covering 10 000 km2. Today, these are what’s known as the Makgadikgadi Pans. The largest are Sowa (Sua) Pan, Ntwetwe and Nxai. Baines’ Baobabs are located at the smaller Kudiakam Pan. The lesser-known Kaucaca Pan is found just northwest of the A3 near Nata.

Traveller Description In the southwest, the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park consists of extensive grasslands, dense acacia woodlands and the western edge of Ntwetwe Pan. There are two campsites in the park, with ablutions featuring running water and flush toilets. A strip of grassland separates Ntwetwe from Sua Pan in the east, which is one of just three sites in Africa where Lesser Flamingos breed on a regular basis before migrating to Namibia, Mozambique and South Africa. (See Nata) Lekhubu Island (fondly known as Kubu Island) on the western edge of Ntwetwe Pan, is one of the most popular destinations in the Makgadikgadi Pans. From this rocky outcrop you can gaze across the vast white salt expanse of Sua Pan, it’s so big and flat that one can literally see the earth’s curvature. At sunset and sunrise, the baobabs are bathed in red light while the pan itself shimmers silver at full moon.

There’s a campsite with chemical toilets, but no showers or water. The campsite is operated by the local community who also offer guided walks to archaeological and historical remains on the island.

Kukonje Island is on the eastern edge of Sua Pan and has a few campsites but no facilities. Camping is free but visitors have to sign in at Kwadiba Veterinary Checkpoint (open 06:00 - 22:00). During the rainy season, Kukonje isn’t accessible and even in the dry season the going is pretty bumpy and may be wet near the pan’s edge. It’s best to enquire about road conditions at the Kwadiba Veterinary Checkpoint before you continue to Kukonje.

162

In the northwest, Nxai Pan National Park incorporates Nxai and Kgama-Kgama pans which fill with water in the wet season; this draws herds of antelope that graze on the grassy edges, and they’re followed by predators. Campsites are available at South Camp, these have running water and flush toilets.

Baine’s Baobabs, 30km south of Nxai Pan, is a rocky outcrop with seven enormous baobabs that’s surrounded by Kudiakam Pan. Baine painted these trees in 1862 while accompanying fellow explorer John Chapman to Victoria Falls. The trees grow so slowly that it’s extremely difficult to discern any difference between the trees in the painting and the trees as they are now. There are three campsites near Baines Baobabs, they have no facilities.

Travel Info

Travelling to the pans from the south, Letlhakane is the best place to stock up with supplies and the last place to refuel. Very limited supplies are available in Kumaga Village, near the entrance to the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park where there’s a small supermarket with basic supplies and frozen meat. Fourie’s Butchery in Nata will vacuum-pack and freeze pre-ordered meat.

Useful numbers: Fourie’s Butchery: +267 744 53598 / +267 621 1226, email Belinda Horn on yoshimi.horn5@gmail.com TRAVEL TIP! In the rainy season, the pans fill with water, and Lekhubu Island, Kukonje Island and Baines Baobabs become inaccessible. If you’re visiting just after the pans have dried out, you’re strongly advised to stay on the main track - don’t detour onto the pans. The surface may appear dry and hard but your vehicle will almost certainly break through the thin dry crust and become hopelessly stuck in the underlying mud.

The road from the A3 north to Baines Baobabs and Nxai Pan, as well as the roads in the Makgadikgadi National Park, are deep sand, so one should deflate tyres and engage 4WD and diff-lock. sane to Ka

There is no longer fuel in Gweta so travellers are advised to fill their tanks in Maun, Nata or Letlhakane before heading into the pans. When travelling from Maun to the Makgadikgadi Pans, no uncooked beef may pass the Makalamabedi Veterinary Control Gate. Travellers will have to do their shopping in one of the villages; here you’ll find basic supplies and some frozen meat. So pack some pre-cooked meals. At the time of writing there was a ban on bringing in chicken from SA due to avian flu.
