The
Republic of Zambia is a landlocked country in Southern
Africa neighboring the Democratic Republic of the Congo
to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the
east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the
south, and Angola to the west.
Zambia consists mostly of very high plateaus along with
mountains which are dissected by river valleys. It
covers an area of about 752,600 km2 and lies between the
latitudes of 8° and 18°S, as well as the longitudes of
22° and 34°E.
There are a number of major rivers flowing in the
Zambezi basin. These include the Kabompo, the
Lungwebungu, the Kafue, the Luangwa as well as the
Zambezi itself.The north of Zambia is very flat with
broad plains. In the west the most notable being the
Barotse Floodplain on the Zambezi, which floods from
December to June, lagging behind the annual rainy season
(typically November to April). Lake Tanganyika is
another major hydrographic feature which belongs to the
Congo basin.
