Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Oshoek Mbabane 24-Hour in Kruger Coastal Route
The border between the Kingdom of Eswatini and South Africa is a scenic and accessible frontier, wrapping around the small, landlocked nation on three sides. This 438-kilometer line is a passage between two deeply connected countries, a journey from the rolling hills and sugar cane fields of Eswatini into the diverse landscapes of South Africa’s Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces.
Jeppes Golela Customs in Scenic Agricultural Valley
You have a number of border posts to choose from, each serving different routes. The busiest and most significant is Oshoek, on the main highway to the capital, Mbabane. It operates 24 hours a day and handles the majority of commercial and passenger traffic. For travelers exploring different regions, other useful crossings include Jeppes Reef in the north, which is convenient for accessing the northern part of Kruger National Park, and Golela in the south, connecting to the KwaZulu-Natal coast.
