Does Botswana Border Zambia?

By , About.com GuideApril 23, 2006

Follow me on:

Murali from India asks a great question, "Does Botswana border Zambia?" If you look at many maps, it would appear that the Caprivi Strip reaches all the way east to Zimbabwe, separating Botswana and Zambia. However, the Caprivi Strip stops a few miles short of Zimbabwe and indeed, Botswana does border Zambia. You won't find the two countries listed as neighboring countries in the CIA World Factbook but Wikipedia's entries on the two countries is accurate.

My understanding is that whether this tripoint exists or not is still an unresolved issue. Is there any definitive agreement from the 4 concerned countries as to where the exact borders are in this area ?

Yes, Botswana and Zambia meet at the Kazungula Border Post…From the Zambian side you can see Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia.

Yes Zambia and botswana share a water boundary of a few hundred meters though it is not clearly defined. Zimbabwe has sort of been disputing this. Regardless, one can get into botswana from Zambia and vice versa directly via kazungula
