Countries that border Zimbabwe
4 land neighbours: Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
4 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 4 land borders are joint 6th-most in Africa — level with Angola, Benin, Mauritania, Namibia, Nigeria and Rwanda. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Zambia is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Zimbabwe, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
