You have two main crossing points. The primary and busiest is at Ramokgwebana (Botswana) and Plumtree (Zimbabwe), located on the main highway connecting the cities of Francistown and Bulawayo. This is a major commercial route and the most straightforward option for most travelers. A second, more tourism-focused crossing is at Kazungula Road, which provides a direct link to the town of Victoria Falls.
