Four Countries and 2 Rivers - Ferry Ride across the Zambezi River. We arrive in Zambia

Four countries meet at the confluence of the Zambezi and the Chobe River - Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia.  We took a small boat taxi across the Zambezi with our suitcases.  The ferry was unbelievably backed up - there are very few places to cross the Zambezi in this region.  Literally hundreds of trucks were waiting to cross.  The ferry was really small - so the wait would be very long.

Kazungula Ferry entrance - at the point where 4 countries come together


The boat driver literally threw our luggage into the boat and away we went across the Zambezi River

The ferry - yes this little boat was it.  18 wheeler trucks were loaded on and ferried across.
