03 — Lanes

Indicative transit times.

Approximate door-to-door transit times under normal corridor conditions. Border congestion, customs delays and seasonality may extend these. Quote for actuals.

LANE 01

Durban → Lusaka

North-South corridor via Beit Bridge and Chirundu. The most heavily-trafficked southern route into Zambia.

~7–10 daysBeit Bridge · Chirundu
LANE 02

Walvis Bay → Lusaka

Trans-Caprivi corridor via Sesheke. Often shorter customs queues than the southern route.

~6–8 daysSesheke · Katima Mulilo
LANE 03

Walvis Bay → Kolwezi

Through Lusaka and Kasumbalesa into the DRC Copperbelt. Primary route for mining inputs.

~10–14 daysKasumbalesa
LANE 04

Durban → Kolwezi

North-South corridor extended into the DRC. Longer transit, well-established route for mining cargo.

~12–16 daysBeit Bridge · Chirundu · Kasumbalesa
LANE 05

Lusaka → Gaborone

Via Livingstone and Kazungula. Cross-corridor lane connecting Zambia to Botswana and onward to South Africa.

~3–5 daysKazungula
LANE 06

Lusaka → Harare

Great North Road via Chirundu. Short, well-served lane between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

~2–3 daysChirundu
04 — Border posts

The major crossings.

The principal border posts along the routes we run. Each is operated by separate national authorities — knowing the local procedures and the people on the ground is what keeps cargo moving.

ZM ↔ ZW

Chirundu

One-stop border post between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The principal southern crossing on the Great North Road and the busiest cargo gateway between the two countries.

ZM ↔ CD

Kasumbalesa

The Copperbelt crossing into the DRC. The lifeline border for mining cargo into and out of Lualaba and Haut-Katanga provinces.

ZW ↔ ZA

Beit Bridge

The principal southern African border between Zimbabwe and South Africa. The key chokepoint on the North-South corridor — congestion here moves the whole timeline.

ZM ↔ NA

Sesheke / Katima Mulilo

Bridge crossing between Zambia and Namibia on the Trans-Caprivi corridor. The natural gateway for Walvis Bay cargo into Zambia.

ZM ↔ BW

Kazungula

The bridge crossing between Zambia and Botswana — replacing the historical ferry crossing. Critical for Trans-Kalahari cargo and the Lusaka-Gaborone lane.

BW ↔ ZA

Pioneer Gate / Skilpadshek

The principal cargo crossing between Botswana and South Africa, handling Trans-Kalahari corridor cargo onward to Johannesburg and the Durban port hinterland.
