Africa is👍

I used it a month ago. Great new option for crossing the border - I was through customs in 5 minutes! Best border crossing in Africa. Contrast that with Victoria Falls, where it took me an hour as a pedestrian to get across due to long lineups inside the customs building. I just wanted to add that I have just finished visiting Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia and had the time of my life! Way better than I expected and the people everywhere were awesome! Thank you so much! I will spread the word to my fellow travelers. The Southern region of Africa is AWESOME!!!!!

Used the ferry often in the sixties, as I recall it had a seagull and a mercury outboard. After the second or third trip across we no longer got our passports stamped. We would camp by the river and troll for Tigerfish. Dusty trip on the dirt road back to Livingstone after a relaxing weekend.

In 2016 we visited Botswana as a family. Our children did not gave birth certificates because nobody told us to bring them with us. Botswana border officials gave us tough times at Tseretse Khana Airport both on arrival and departure. Are foreigners with kids still required to bring more papers apart from passports when visiting Botswana?

@NickfrNamibia

All children at all border s in southern Africa are required to carry birth certificates. You need verify each country individually, most require the parents names to appear on them. But yes, what happened to you are the laws to curb child trafficking in the area.

ECL the only great leader look at kazungula bridge

1 It should be emphasized that, like the seven seals, God has made us know the seven Church ages through the ministry of William Branham in the evening time. 2 Thus, from the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 to the rapture, the Church of the nations is divided into seven periods or ages. That is to say, at such a time, the Church of the nations will look like such an assembly which is already existing in Asia and which is described in Revelation chapter 2. So, at the time of Paul, there were seven churches or seven assemblies which distinguished themselves, which had each some particular characteristics but as for Salvation, keep in mind that God has at all times dealt by generation and not by age. 3 Judaism has known and preached four ages according to Daniel 7, after which the Messiah would come. There was the age of the lion with the rise of the Babylonian empire, then the age of the bear with the Medo-Persian empire, then the age of the leopard with the World Greek empire and finally, the age of the nameless beast with the Roman empire. Does it mean that from Daniel to the end of the world, there will be only four prophets on the earth? You see? Linking an age to only one prophet, it is the work of a demon. Mankind has known ages: the Neolithic age, antiquity, the Middle ages, etc… and in an age, there can be tens of generations and each generation comes with its king. It is the same for Salvation. Each generation comes with its prophet messenger. Thus is it of the Church ages. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. 4 There was a church that was in the city of Ephesus. There was a church that was in the city of Smyrna. There was a church that was in the city of Pergamos. There was a church that was in the city of Thyatira. There was a church that was in the city of Sardis. There was a church that was in the city of Philadelphia. And finally, there was another church that was in the city of Laodicea. #ProphetKacouPhilippe #PKPCHANNELTV www.philippekacou.org
