River Crossing





Where the Chobe and Zambezi rivers come together there are two private boat ferries for vehicles (mostly large transport trucks) passing between Zambia and Botswana. Trucks line up and wait a week or two at the border until their turn comes to drive onto the ferry and ride across the river (though the channel is pretty small, there is no bridge over the water). This is a fun place to cross, because it is the point where four countries meet. When leaving the Zambia side, Zimbabwe is across the river to the left, Botswana is to the right of Zimbabwe, and Namibia is further to the right of Botswana.
