Corruption still exists when crossing the border, for passing goods and people without proper documentation. But they are effectively arranged with tough security, services are fast and 24/7, bureau de change is available and large enough to accommodate large number of buses
It is orderly, clearence is quite fast compared to the boarder station in Loitoktok. However the officers in uniform terrorize locals for taking photos of the beautiful surrounding landscape.
Does anyone know if US citizens can get an East Africa Tourist Visa at this border post when traveling from Tanzania? Tnx!
New building slow process
Great entrance with clean bathrooms
Lots of people want to sell you stuff while you waiting for your bus which is annoying.
They give you visa on the spot.
I wish there was a cafe inside for a coffee break while waiting.
Kenya and Tanzania kiosks are side by side.
If you are on a shuttle bus, you need to take all your luggage off and through the security check but you are not required if you are in a private car or a taxi.
Best border I have ever visited in East Africa. Very spacious and comfortable, the staff were supportive and in a very good mood. No hustles from the middle men. Bravo Kenya and Tanzania
Awesome & fast services
The modern structures create a great appeal
Mountain to the side
Security is high
Clean environment
Relatively fast in clearing however it is a busy entry/ exit point
They clear people quite fast but I don't get the hats and phones rule
Be prepared for a long wait.
Very conducive enviroment
I love border
One day coming
They have build a whole new border crossing complex. Very nice.
