The economy of Zambia has seen tremendous changes over the years with its capital city of Lusaka being the main business hub and economic power house having an international airport and attractive for business. However, tourism has played and important role in the economy of Zambian despite its huge natural copper resources. The Kariba dam and Lake Kariba in the Zambezi including the Victoria falls has made huge contribution to the growth of the regions of Zambia with many tourist coming from all over the world to visit Zambia. Zimbabwe has also benefited from the Zambezi in many ways. Zimbabwe people have some tourism attractions through capital Harare because of the Victoria falls and the lake Kariba and Kariba dam. Zambia has some good touristic attractions and some best places to visit will include Victoria Falls, South Luangwa National Park, Kafue National Park, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Lower Zambezi National Park, Lake Kariba, Shiwa Ngandu Manor House, Mwela Rocks National Monument, Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, 7.

The Kariba Dam is a double curvature concrete arch dam in the Kariba Gorge of the Zambezi river basin between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The dam stands 128 metres tall and 579 metres long. The dam forms Lake Kariba, which extends for 280 kilometres and holds 185 cubic kilometres of water.
Lake Kariba is the world's largest man-made lake and reservoir by volume. It lies 1,300 kilometres upstream from the Indian Ocean, along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe
Lusaka is the capital of Zambia. In the center, sprawling Lusaka City Market sells clothing, produce and other goods. The National Museum exhibits archaeological finds and contemporary art. Nearby, the Freedom Statue commemorates Zambia's struggle for independence. South of the city, Munda Wanga Environmental Park has a wildlife sanctuary and botanical garden. The Lilayi Elephant Nursery cares for orphaned elephants
Zambia, in southern Africa, is a landlocked country of rugged terrain and diverse wildlife, with many parks and safari areas. On its border with Zimbabwe is famed Victoria Falls - indigenously called Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "Smoke That Thunders” - plunging a misty 108m into narrow Batoka Gorge. Spanning the Zambezi River just below the falls is Victoria Falls Bridge, a spectacular viewpoint.
Harare is the capital of Zimbabwe. On the edge of landscaped Harare Gardens, the National Gallery of Zimbabwe has a large collection of African contemporary art and traditional pieces like baskets, textiles, jewelry and musical instruments. The unusual granite formation Epworth Balancing Rocks is southeast of the city. Wildlife such as zebras and giraffes roam Mukuvisi Woodlands.
Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa known for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it within parks, reserves and safari areas. On the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls make a thundering 108m drop into narrow Batoka Gorge, where there’s white-water rafting and bungee-jumping. Downstream are Matusadona and Mana Pools national parks, home to hippos, rhinos and birdlife.

    Congratulations!! I am not an engineer, but I am interested in some aspects. Kariba Dam is the largest man-made dam (185 km3 of water). It is almost five times bigger than the Chinese Three Gorges Dam (38 km3). However, the Three-Gorges Dam has an installed capacity of 22,500 MW compared to Kariba's 1,626 MW (with the Zambia side). Is the difference only in terms of number turbines, Kariba has 14 compared to 34 and their capacity? What is the maximum that can be harnessed from Kariba, if financial resources were available (a simple matchbox calculation says 110,000 MW)?

    Nice video. Another magnificent legacy of colonialism. Like the Victoria Waterfalls bridge. Btw, the Iguazu Waterfall is wider than the Victoria and has a much higher maximum flow rate. As for height, there are dozens if not hundreds that are higher. (I was a young boy when I visited the Kariba before it had even been filled for the first time and have visited Victoria several times.)
