Getting There
-
Walking
From the Kazungula border post in Zambia, the bridge is easily accessible on foot. A pedestrian walkway allows you to walk across the 923-meter span. Be prepared for a lengthy walk, especially during the hot season. Remember that border formalities are handled at the One-Stop Border Post on either the Zambian or Botswana side, depending on your direction of travel. There is no cost for walking across the bridge.
-
Taxi
Taxis are readily available in Kazungula, Zambia, to take you to the bridge and across to the Botswana side. A taxi from Kazungula town to the border post and across the bridge typically costs between 100-200 Zambian Kwacha. Ensure the taxi has the necessary permits to cross the border. Prices may vary, so it's advisable to negotiate the fare before starting your journey.
-
Public Transport
Shared taxis and minibuses (combis) operate between Kasane (Botswana) and Kazungula (Zambia). From Kasane, a shared taxi to the Kazungula border post costs around 8 Pula. The combis will drop you off at the border, from where you can proceed to cross the bridge. Remember to factor in additional costs for border fees and potential taxi fares on the other side.
