The main bordercrossing at Vioolsdrif sees a of traffic going directly to [[Cape Town]]. It's a fairly quite border without too much traffic. Hitchhiker [[Theo]] made the mistake of arriving after midnight and found himself being searched thoroughly and asked ridiculously inquisitive questions. Most people who arrive in a inconspicuous manner (i.e. don't cross the border in the middle of the night on foot) ought not to have any trouble though.

The most common route from [[Namibia]] to [[Johannesburg]] and [[Durban]] is through [[Botswana]] but the border close to [[Upington]] is also fairly hitchable. Most people tend to head south-east from there. Sometimes as far as [[Port Elizabeth]].
