Chikwarakwara gets temporary tourist border post status

ZIMBABWE, South Africa and Mozambique were on Monday involved in the historic establishment of a temporary border post at Chikwarakwara, a few kilometres west of the Crooks Corner, and about 130 kilometres east of Beitbridge town.

The temporary post called Limpopo Tourism Access Facility is a scheduled crossing point where prior arrangements with the three States will see tourists and adventurers driving all-terrain vehicles crossing the three countries and being attended to by Customs and Excise and Immigration officials from the three States.

The international co-ordinator for The Great Limpopo Trans Frontier Conservation, Gwinyai Muti told stakeholders that the facility would see tourists enjoying seamless movement from the Kruger National Park in South Africa to Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe and Mozambique without having to go through Beitbridge.
