Zimbabwe border posts
Short answer
Zimbabwe has 16 land border posts with Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia. Only Beitbridge, Chirundu, Forbes and Victoria Falls are open 24 hours. Most small posts close in the late afternoon, so plan to arrive well before closing. Kanyemba is restricted; Kariba is restricted; Mlambapele is restricted; Mukumbura is restricted.

No border post matches that.
Hours are the Zimbabwean 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 Department of Immigration.
