Abstract
The Zambezi is the fourth of the great rivers of Africa, after the Nile, Congo and Niger, 1,600 miles long and draining 540,000 square miles. Rising at Kalene Hill in the northwest corner of Zambia, it flows placidly through Barotseland, a vast floodplainon the central African plateau, before plunging over the Victoria Falls into the deep valley through which, until the construction of the Kariba and Cahora Bassa dams, it cut its turbulent way to make its journey to the delta and the ocean.
