The corresponding checkpoint on the Botswana side of the border is called Pioneer Gate. The Trans-Kalahari Corridor passes through Skilpadshek, and it is the western end of the N4 road, which continues in Botswana as the A2.

Kopfontein Gate – [Tlokweng] The Kopfontein Gate Border Post between South Africa and Botswana is very popular as it provides a short and direct route from the border to the capital city of Gaborone.
