Hallo,
Heeft er nog iemand recentelijk gebruik gemaakt van de grensovergang Dobe tussen Namibië en Botswana? Ik kwam op internet tegen dat er wel eens moeilijkheden waren met auto's op zuid-afrikaans kenteken? bron
Iemand ervaring?
groeten Erik
Dobe staat hieronder niet bij .dus eerst even bellen lijkt me een betere optie.

Border Entry Fees
Vehicle Levy: P40-00 per vehicle less than 3.5 Ton. Trailer is P40-00 as well. (Payable every time you enter)
Road Safety: P20-00 per vehicle. Trailer is also P20-00. (This is valid for the calendar year. Jan 1 to Dec 31)
There is a new P50-00 per vehicle 3rd party insurance for all foreign registered vehicles from January 2009.
If you are planning to go through Botswana to Namibia/Zambia and back through Botswana, ask for a Multi entry Permit. It’ll save you some money.
Border Procedure
At “Immigration”, ask for a “blue form” (all passport holders older than 16). Fill out the form and hand it in with your passport. The driver must ask for the “vehicle register” and complete the details. You will receive a “Gate Pass” (missing one stamp). The driver must proceed to “customs”, pay all applicable “entry fees” (see above) and get the second stamp. Declare anything if needed. That will do it. (Something personal…. Please remove your hat and sunglasses when you approach the official at the gate. It is just good manners. Ummm – and safety belt ON)
Vehicle Registration Papers
You will need the following:
1. If you are the owner: The original reg. papers. Certified copies are dodgy.
2. If you are not the owner, copy of registration papers and an original letter from owner, giving you permission to take vehicle into Botswana.
(Personal note: In my 8 years crossing the border frequently, I have never been asked for the papers. BUT !!! Rather be safe than sorry. Please note: This is with a Botswana registered vehicle.)
Beste Erik,
De grenspost bij Dobe is nog maar een paar jaar open.
Wij waren er in juli 2009.
Verder een prima en rustige grensovergang. Er gaan maar een paar mensen per dag over deze grens.
Je kunt er geen permit betalen voor je auto. Wij hebben dat betaald bij het verlaten van Botswana.
Je moet hier dus wel geld voor bewaren.
Meer details en en foto van de weg vlak na de grensovergang kun je vinden op onze website: ineke-johan-neuteboom.freehostia.com
Veel plezier met de voorbereidingen.
Groet Ineke
@ Dave: op T4A staat deze overgang aan de Namibische zijde ook aangegeven als Dobe.
@ Ineke: Bedankt voor je info. De moeilijkheden met de auto alsnog makkelijk opgelost? Of moet ik uit vorzorg ook maar een paar sigaren meenemen 
OP T4A vond ik dit nog:
Namibie kant:
This border post is open from 07h00 to 17h00 (GMT+2). Dobe Border control is situated between Namibia and Botswana. Namibia's daylight saving time (GMT+1) is from the first Sunday of April to first Sunday in September. (ie. The times specified will then be an hour earlier). The nearest town to this border is Tsumkwe. Payment should be done in Namibian Dollars. Payments can also be done in South African Rand at the Border and in Namibia itself.
Botswana kant:
This border post is open from 07h30 to 16h30 (GMT+2). This Border Control is between Botswana and Namibia, near the town of Dobe. Namibia's daylight saving time (GMT+1) is from the first Sunday of April to first Sunday in September. (ie. The times specified could then be an hour earlier). They are open 7 days a week. For South Africans coming to Botswana, a valid passport book and vehicle papers are needed. Any goods acquired outside the country must be declared at the border gate. For any clarifications on this matter please contact the Customs office. This is a small border post and there is no communication line to the post.
