The two rivers near Zimbabwe are which?

The two rivers near Zimbabwe are which?

• A. Nile and Niger
• B. Zambezi and Limpopo
• C. Congo and Ubangi
• D. Orange and Vaal

Answer: (B)

Understanding geography helps place Zimbabwe on the map by identifying its neighboring watercourses. Zimbabwe sits in southern Africa, with the Zambezi River forming part of its northern border and the Limpopo River along its southern boundary, near the border with South Africa and Mozambique. The Zambezi is famous for Victoria Falls and runs from Zambia into Zimbabwe and onward to the Indian Ocean, while the Limpopo flows along the southern edge toward the Indian Ocean as well. The other river pairs aren’t near Zimbabwe: the Nile and Niger are in far northern and western Africa; the Congo and Ubangi are in central Africa; and the Orange and Vaal are in southern Africa but do not border Zimbabwe.
