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.

Overall well organized. They have a print service. To have ready: - Passport - PCR Test printed (They have a print service, but that costs time, which you really dont want to invest in customs) - Yellow Fever vaccine confirmation - 50 dollars cash for visa (Or do an e-visa 48 hours before (Visitors going to Kenya only))

Immigration officials generally rude they should style up I saw a lady being denied clearance to Tz because she didn't have clear contacts on the other side so unprofessional

My recent border crossing experience at Namanga left me pleasantly surprised with its smooth and efficient process. As I made my way from Kenya to Tanzania, the entire journey was hassle-free and stress-free, making it a standout travel moment. What impressed me the most was the organization and cooperation between the Kenyan and Tanzanian immigration authorities. Both sides of the border seemed to work seamlessly to facilitate a quick and trouble-free crossing for travelers. This efficient collaboration is undoubtedly a credit to the cooperation between the two nations. Beyond the procedural efficiency, I felt entirely safe and secure throughout the process. The border area was well-maintained and had visible security personnel, instilling a sense of comfort as I journeyed between the two countries. Moreover, the border crossing provided an opportunity to appreciate the cultural diversity of the region. I had a chance to interact with fellow travelers from different parts of the world, sharing stories and experiences, which added to the richness of the journey.

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 a town on the border of Kenya and Tanzania. The place has several cheap restaurants and night clubs. Food is affordable here too. It is essential to have trave documents going into another country.

This border point has everything put in order. As soon as you enter you line your bags and a sniff dog goes thro them. Then you show your docs and fill a form, get your finger prints scanned, show your Yellow Feaver and Covid 19 certificate and you are good to go. On one side is the Tanzania Exit Office. Then Kenya Entry Off and vice depending on which direction you are going. Outside, a group of Maasai women show beads and other besutiful maasai items like earings. Chains and beaded bangles. The women are dressed in full Maasai regalia

Quite interesting place for uniting East Africa.

Great service.... It feels good crossing into Tanzania on road... The process is seemless... And Tanzania is already fun 😅😅.

Does anyone know if US citizens can get an East Africa Tourist Visa at this border post when traveling from Tanzania? Tnx! I was able to get an East Africa visa here, $100USD.... good for Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. Don't miss Uganda and Rwanda if you can make it there!

A beautiful place to look at but no much in terms of social amenities

Excellent service, open 24 hours and of you have a reliable agent, you are good to crossover! Thumbs up to this one stop border post. So proud!

So I'm passing through this border service place. Here is the good, it's clean, the people are fairly friendly, they have security machines to help the process go a bit faster. The bad, disorganized , unnecessary line ups due to confusion. A simple start here sign: STEP 1, then step 2 etc. They also have a lot of staff, that does not lead people. Needless to say proper management of traffic flow is needed to speed things up, a 1hr hold up, can be simply resolved by having signs or staff to great and direct people. Hopefully this small steps can be taken to increase efficiency and better service.

A good place indeed to be, you automatically realize and feel the transition as you cross the border and hear some good well utterred Swahili words from Tanzanians

Awesome security check services

Wonderful. One stop has become very very easy. In few minutes we can get both exit and entry stamps all under one roof. And Visa for foreigners also. But I would like to suggest they keep stand by officers at night hours to help to serve large crowds of people faster.

Crossing were possible and it did not take very long. Be aware of would-be scammers trying to convince you to pay them toll for any valuables you bring into Kenya. They are especially looking for large bags, and will try to fool you that it has not been checked. They did not look authorized

I had a truly positive experience crossing the Namanga border. 🌍✨ The process was smooth and efficient, making my travel between Kenya and Tanzania hassle-free. The border officials were friendly and professional, making me feel welcome and at ease. The scenic surroundings added to the charm of the crossing, with breathtaking views of the landscape. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and there were ample services available for travelers, including currency exchange and refreshments. Overall, the Namanga border crossing left me with a favorable impression, and I would recommend it to anyone traveling between these two beautiful East African countries. It's a gateway that showcases the warmth and beauty of this region. 🇰🇪🇹🇿🌄

Cool

This place is very good

Be prepared for a long wait.

Overall a good experience. However it gets really tiring when there are many travellers. I would suggest that they have some immigration officers on stand-by, for when they expect many people. Signage would definitely help as well, so that people know which desk to start with, and which to go to next in order to complete the process.

Tanzanian bider are very slow don't know what is the issue where as Kenyan border is very speedy

It's a hassle free experience provided you have all relevant documents like valid passport, covid vaccination certificate/valid pcr test and yellow fever certificate

They have build a whole new border crossing complex. Very nice.

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

The Tanzanian culture is so amazing 😍

It's much educative for a starting entrepreneur to compare the market at the border.

The immigration line from Kenya to Tanzania was long. We took almost an hour at the waiting line. When coming back it was super fast, there was no line at all which was great.

Friendly staff and quite helpful, no crowds. Very clean and orderly. Had a seamless process & loved it. Tanzanians are very welcoming!

La Apple Lounge serves delicious fish & chicken for lunch

The scenery is beautiful. Immigration takes longer when traveling by shuttles and buses. It is better than before because it is a one-stop immigration for Kenya and Tanzania.

Never again! If you have the money for it, just fly and dont waste your time. You will spend 2 - 3 hours at this place

Good in improvement to the one border crossing but still too much paper work on Tz side. The community is friendly and helpful as always

Nice place that is messed by poor interpersonal skills set on the part of some immigration officers. Experienced racism on the tanzania immigration side very low cx. Immigration department is supposed to be the face of the country. Mnawaangusha watanzania

One stop border point is a great way for nations to cooperate and easen the burden on travellers. Making the visa experience a smooth one

Clean

They clear people quite fast so the queues are short most of the time. Very nice views of hills around the area. Very picturesque

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.

?

Well equipped.

The scenery is magnificent

Cheep foods and drinks at the Tanzanian side ????

No movement for people across the border only truck are allowed to do so after a covid test for drivers

People are so welcoming and loving

Friendly residents, quick and fast attendance from the offices . Amenities are in plenty for a stop over here.

We had our worst experience here? on our entry to Kenya.

So good very friendly place I love it

Popular border crossing for travelers moving between Kenya and Tanzania but the Kenya side of the border control seems a bit laxed with sometimes instances of security scanners breaking down thereby resulting in the border control personnel to visually inspect goods and this can be very time consuming. If you need to change currency don’t take an offer from the first person you find, if you get a second opinion you might get better rates.

Good

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

Very conducive enviroment

I love border One day coming
