What to know

  • The top of the Okavango Panhandle, just north of Shakawe. From the Namibian post the road runs through Bwabwata National Park to Divundu.
  • Foreign-registered cars pay a road permit, the road safety levy and third-party insurance at the customs counter on the way in. Drive South Africa (June 2026) puts the three at about P200 for a car, and we could not find an official BURS tariff to check that against. Carry pula as well as a card.

Bring with you

  • Your passport
  • The vehicle's registration papers
  • For a hired car, the rental company's letter of authority to take it across
  • Whatever Namibia asks of your passport: visa, fees and the papers it wants to see
