Namibia border posts
Short answer
Namibia has 19 land border posts with Angola, Botswana, South Africa and Zambia. Only Ariamsvlei, Buitepos, Noordoewer, Oshikango and Wenela (Katima Mulilo) are open 24 hours. Most small posts close in the late afternoon, so plan to arrive well before closing. Impalila Island is restricted.

No border post matches that.
Hours are the Namibian side's published hours. Some posts open longer over Easter and the December holidays, and sources sometimes disagree: each post's page says where. The posts are run by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security.
