Groblersbrug Border Post

It would help if there was signage at boarder posts of were to go and so forth and also what I noted is that it's the tswana speakers who have it easy here. Else the service isn't bad much. Oh and this boarder closes at 10pm and open at 6am

Worst service ever. Had to wait 25minutes on queue because the 'departure' stamp was missing. They had to call some one from home to assist travelers going to Botswana. People were angry especially the tourists.

Groblersbrug (aka Grobler's bridge) is one of the 15 official ports of entry between South Africa (lephalale, Limpopo) and Botswana. It was much cleaner in the past year, but still saving its purpose gracefully with a lot of traffic recorded at the border. It operates between 8:00 hours to 22:00 hours. It is called Martin's drift on the Botswana side of the border.

One of the efficient station into Botswana from South Africa. Everything is computerized and you only have to fill the vehicle register by hand. Even crossing back from Botswana is easy.

There's a single lane bridge going over the Limpopo river, usually cramped between early morning hours (6am - 8am) and will be even more cramped between 13:00 & 15:00, avoid crossing around those hours especially if you're driving a loaded truck.

The experience was good

I don’t know which planet theses other reviews came from but it certainly wasn’t Earth .. the staff is rude , aggressive and thrives on intimidation. My wife took a photo of a poster on the wall about reporting corruption and the staff there went berserk, they threatened to take the camera from her and demanded the memory card . Then the border guard at the gate demanded that I give him all the currency’s in my wallet except for the rand. I refused, played as if I didn’t understand him and he only let us through when the traffic started queuing up behind us . I would avoid this crossing like the plague.. we were tourists and felt extremely unsafe at this crossing.

Not happy especially with the held of Transporters like tankers and other explosive products that can be forced to park in someone's dust farm field where there is no toilet no water tape and titled to pay R70 a day that is not safe on health wise

The Globersburg border is such as nice place to visit for one-day travel , no sleepovers available but due to Covid 19 we couldn't entre through the gates to the other side, but the service is good.
