The African Nation Without Any Coastline

Despite being located in the heart of Southeast Africa, Zimbabwe is completely landlocked. It relies entirely on its neighbors to access the ocean, wedged between the mighty Zambezi and Limpopo rivers.

Being landlocked creates a unique set of challenges and opportunities for this beautiful country. Zimbabwe shares its borders with four different nations, acting as a crossroads for regional trade and travel. Because it lacks a direct coastal route, the country has developed deep logistical partnerships with its neighbors to keep its economy flowing. The rivers that define its borders remain vital natural resources for both wildlife and human activity today.
