Crossing into Botswana using the NEW Kazungula bridge

[@yebo-fun]

Botswana is so beautifull!

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

I used it a month ago. Great new option for crossing the border - I was through customs in 5 minutes! Best border crossing in Africa. Contrast that with Victoria Falls, where it took me an hour as a pedestrian to get across due to long lineups inside the customs building. I just wanted to add that I have just finished visiting Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia and had the time of my life! Way better than I expected and the people everywhere were awesome! Thank you so much! I will spread the word to my fellow travelers. The Southern region of Africa is AWESOME!!!!!

[@NickfrNamibia]

Yoh its that busy at Victoria. Im heading there today and wanted to go and have a look. Anywhere Botswana is involved border procedures are so professional and efficient, my opinion🙂

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

@@NickfrNamibia Yep! Also I had to pay $50 at the crossing into Zambia but it was free for me to get my visa going into Botswana.

[@molefephirinyane585]

I'm a citizen of Botswana and feel humbled to read such positive reviews about our country and region. Just hoping we sustain and improve further the professionalism you experienced at our borders. I trust you'll visit again.

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

@@molefephirinyane585 Absolutely - it was one of the best vacations I have ever had in 30 years!

[@duncanwallace7760]

Oh wow, I went on the Kezungula ferry years ago, and it was quite scary, especially as there was only one operating because the other one sank with vehicles on board, a week before we got there. That bridge looks amazing!

[@NickfrNamibia]

haha, yes I used that ferry about 10 years ago as well. It was dodgy to say the least😅

Kazungula Nick, not Kazangula.. I don't kno why but I still fill have a pinch of nostalgia, I just loved that hint of uncertainty about the ferry.. Beautiful BW 🇧🇼 When did you cross into Bots, was in Kasane last weekend..

[@NickfrNamibia]

I only realised that once the video was uploaded. At least I could make sure the title and thumbnail is correct, but honestly all these years I thought it was Kazangula, I have no idea why...Crossed about. week ago, but went directly to Katima. Now in Kasane again, but going to Zimbabwe tomorrow

[@peterbuckland5120]

Used the ferry often in the sixties, as I recall it had a seagull and a mercury outboard. After the second or third trip across we no longer got our passports stamped. We would camp by the river and troll for Tigerfish. Dusty trip on the dirt road back to Livingstone after a relaxing weekend.

[@NickfrNamibia]

Sounds amazing😃 the way I would have liked it. Only used the old ferry once, think it was 2013

[@mimiknight-8851]

are those pools of water at the border for washing invasive seeds off of the wheels ?

Thanks for the info! We'll be crossing tomorrow from Livingstone to Namibia via Kazungulu with Dutch Oldtimer cars. We have a carnet de passage : we only pay road tax correct? And would you have any info on the Ngoma border as well? Entry Namibia: get passports and carnets stamped. Health checks? Road or other taxes to be paid? Thanks!🙏

[@NickfrNamibia]

Sorry I missed this one... did you cross ok. but yes, except for road taxes you should have any issues going into Botswana & Namibia...

[@keeganlushato2499]

I will like to visit one day

[@africaoverlandadventures]

I see the ferry is still there. Is it still in use?

[@NickfrNamibia]

It is and I asked a local, you can still use it. Unfortunately there was some type of function there on the day I crossed so I couldn't go down and film a bit.

[@fs4001]

In 2016 we visited Botswana as a family. Our children did not gave birth certificates because nobody told us to bring them with us. Botswana border officials gave us tough times at Tseretse Khana Airport both on arrival and departure. Are foreigners with kids still required to bring more papers apart from passports when visiting Botswana?

[@NickfrNamibia]

All children at all border s in southern Africa are required to carry birth certificates. You need verify each country individually, most require the parents names to appear on them. But yes, what happened to you are the laws to curb child trafficking in the area.

[@fs4001]

Thank you so much otherwise our trip was so fantastic. Travelled across Botswana. Went to Gumare, dove up north to Kasane, briefly crossed into Namibia and then used a barge to cross into Zambia when the bridge was under construction

[@NickfrNamibia]

Oh so you know that ferry crossing from the old days. Was such a great experience back then. Bridge is beautiful, but I do enjoy ferry crossings.

1 It should be emphasized that, like the seven seals, God has made us know the seven Church ages through the ministry of William Branham in the evening time. 2 Thus, from the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 to the rapture, the Church of the nations is divided into seven periods or ages. That is to say, at such a time, the Church of the nations will look like such an assembly which is already existing in Asia and which is described in Revelation chapter 2. So, at the time of Paul, there were seven churches or seven assemblies which distinguished themselves, which had each some particular characteristics but as for Salvation, keep in mind that God has at all times dealt by generation and not by age. 3 Judaism has known and preached four ages according to Daniel 7, after which the Messiah would come. There was the age of the lion with the rise of the Babylonian empire, then the age of the bear with the Medo-Persian empire, then the age of the leopard with the World Greek empire and finally, the age of the nameless beast with the Roman empire. Does it mean that from Daniel to the end of the world, there will be only four prophets on the earth? You see? Linking an age to only one prophet, it is the work of a demon. Mankind has known ages: the Neolithic age, antiquity, the Middle ages, etc… and in an age, there can be tens of generations and each generation comes with its king. It is the same for Salvation. Each generation comes with its prophet messenger. Thus is it of the Church ages. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. 4 There was a church that was in the city of Ephesus. There was a church that was in the city of Smyrna. There was a church that was in the city of Pergamos. There was a church that was in the city of Thyatira. There was a church that was in the city of Sardis. There was a church that was in the city of Philadelphia. And finally, there was another church that was in the city of Laodicea. #ProphetKacouPhilippe #PKPCHANNELTV www.philippekacou.org
