Katima Mulilo is the terminal town of the Trans�Caprivi Highway, and the highway together with its extension to Zambia (and further throughout the entire continent to Tripoli on the Tripoli � Cape Town Highway) is called the Trans-Caprivi Corridor. The Trans�Caprivi Highway was opened in 1999, and the bridge to Sesheke, and with it the entire Trans-Caprivi Corridor, in 2004.
Katima Mulilo is not yet connected to the Namibian railway network. In October 2007, a proposal was announced for a railway connection between Namibia and Zambia which would pass through the town. The line would join Grootfontein to Katima Mulilo then 130 km to Mulobezi with an 80 km upgrade of the line to Livingstone.
The town is served by Katima Mulilo Airport, situated about 18 km to the southwest which is serviced by regular flights from the capital Windhoek
