The Kazungula Ferry was replaced by the Kazungula Bridge in October 2020. This will replace the Kazungula Ferry and together with a planned one-stop border post (OSBP) expedite the flow of traffic between the two countries. It’s planned to relocate the ferries, one to Kashiba Border Post, on the Luapula River (border with DRC), and one to Luangwa Border Post, on the Zambezi (border with Mozambique and Zimbabwe). At Kazungula, on the Zambian side there’s a bank, an ATM (visa only) and some reasonably clean guest houses but your night’s slumber may be disturbed by festivities at nearby pubs and nightclubs. Behind the queue of trucks you’ll find a small informal market where you can buy fresh vegetables, bread and basic commodities. While fuel is cheaper in Botswana and is available at Kazungula, Botswana; it’s not available in Kazungula, Zambia. Accommodation on the Botswana side is spread along the Chobe River and surrounds, and is much more tourist orientated. If you’re travelling from Zambia to Botswana, please remember that no meat, fruit or vegetables may be taken from Zambia into Botswana; this, to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, and fruit fly. As of 1 August 2019, all Botswana border posts will only accept Botswana pula as payment, no foreign currencies. Although some Botswana border posts do have credit card machines, there’s no guarantee that these are actually working, so it’s best to have pula with you. There is no ATM on the Botswana side of the border, and if you come unprepared you will have to change money with a street vendor (not recommended).
