Zimbabwe and South Africa have given the green light for a special border crossing just for tourists. The new route connects Kruger National Park with Gonarezhou National Park through the Pafuri-Sengwe corridor. This pilot program will run from May 1 through November 30, 2025. Both countries want to boost eco-tourism across the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area. The project brings together Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Mozambique for better regional tourism.
The crossing opens twice each week from 11 AM until 3 PM. Only people with confirmed bookings can use this route for their 4x4 vehicles. Visitors must stay at least four nights total. They need two nights at Kruger National Park and two nights at Gonarezhou National Park. Both park services require advance registration before anyone can cross.
Travelers must fill out immigration papers 14 days before their trip. Border officials will check passports and inspect vehicles at both crossing points. Health screenings happen at Pafuri Gate and the Zimbabwe entry point. People coming from yellow fever areas need vaccination certificates. Nobody can bring commercial goods or unauthorized items across.
The authorities enforce strict rules about speed limits and waste disposal. Visitors must respect local customs during their stay. Everyone must leave through official border posts before their visas expire. The pilot program will help officials decide if permanent cross-border tourism makes sense. Both governments want to see how many people use this special crossing.
