Japanese: ザンベジ[川] - ザンベジ
Zambezi [River] - Zambezi
A large river in southern Africa. It has a total length of 2,736 km and a drainage area of ​​1.33 million km2 . It originates in the northwestern tip of Zambia and flows south, then turns east and flows along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, crossing Mozambique and emptying into the Indian Ocean. It is an important inland waterway, including its tributaries, the Kafue River, the Luangwa River, and the Shire River, but navigable sections are cut off by rapids and waterfalls. It also has great potential for hydroelectric power generation, with the Kariba Dam and Victoria Falls in the midstream. The Monomotapa Kingdom flourished along the southern bank. The midstream was explored by Livingstone.
