It was a breeze both sides. Make sure you fill in the form on the Namibian side. No forms on SA side. Friendly all around.

Superb border. Heading into Namibia, we visited midday on a Monday, barely anyone else there. The South African side is very well signposted, best in Africa so far, with all 3 offices numbered and next to each other. Staff were friendly and we were through in 10 minutes. 17km to the Namibian side. All was easy apart from no police to sign us in, which no one cares about, and the customs office sent us to a building on the other side, set back, to get our Carnet stamped. Took a little longer on this side but all very friendly and through into Namibia very easy.

The official govermental website states that I can do a visa on arrival on this border. Well, good luck, that's the namibian reliability...
They didn't let me in because they didn't update the website since covid. pure assholes. But can you expect anything from an African border??? I don't think so...pathetic...

Super easy border. Everyone very friendly. Price for rapid COVID test 300R, results in less than 5 minutes.
In total between both Namibia and ZA side, including getting a COVID test was less than an hour.

and.. the quickest is only possible at Nakop and Springbok borderpost. And check the times for testing before you go, is changes. today it opened at 10:30am, they advised us to be there after 11:00. They do also a night shift.

From Nam to SA without a Covid-test.
You can do a Covid-test on arrival, it's R170pp. Some paperwork and check in a bus at the Nakop border.
We heard the test is only valid for SA and not for Namibia, we didn't check this.
Bordercrossing was very quick, around one hour for both borderposts and the Covid-test, but that is probably the time of the year that its so quite.

Confused border too. Staff no so friendly. Polices are cool!! They checked the car, but no so much. No veggies no fruits allowed! They ask for the vehicle permit for Namibia/South Africa. More strict with forms than other borders in SA.
