The Only Place on Earth Where Four Nations' Borders Meet

The colonization of Africa has created many seemingly arbitrary (and sometimes problematic) borders. One of these African borders is so complicated that it is the only one of its kind in the world. Driaan takes a closer look at how the world's only quadripoint was drawn onto the map, and how its future affects Africans, travelers, and anyone using a smartphone.

I like how you consistently referred to the falls as Mosi-oa-Tunya 🇿🇲

[JoyAriokot-wwdk]

As a Ugandan I have heard of Mosi oa tunya but while learning social studies teachers always referred to it as Victoria falls but am glad you insisted on calling it by its real name. You have helped in preserving Zambian culture

I consider Zambia as my second country after India. Lived in Lusaka for 10 wonderful years - 1985-95. Namibia got independance during that period. Zimbabwe too was in better conditions in that period. Nice people. Mosi O Tuniya is just too good.

I'm Zambian and have known about this quadru point for some time now but I didn't know the story behind it. Thanks Bright Trip, amazing video.

As a Zambian, I can say it's an amazing place, especially since a new bridge was commissioned

[skeptikalmyndz]

Zambia a land of peace, tranquility and friendly.
As a Zambian myself I've enjoyed this video.

Very good to hear you call it by it's real name. "Mosi o tunya" -the smoke that thunders. Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

Greetings from Sudan..Africa is a continent rich in charming landscapes..I have visited Zambia and Zimbabwe..but I did not visit these borders. I wish to visit Botswana and Malawi..Are there friends from there who make it easier for me to visit?

As a Namibian History youtuber, Thanks for this lesson..

[miles_walker_]

Thank you for embracing our history by calling it MosiaTunya, as well as stating David Livingstone is the first European to encounter the MosiaTunya, because some states that he discovered MosiaTunya as if they were no people living in that area

Fun fact: if you put your palm upside down with your thumb stick out it’s namibia map 😄👍🏻

In the southern African minority rule era, the ferry was the only overland way to travel from Black to White Africa. I used it to cross from Zambia to Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) via Botswana in 1977. Experiences during my month in the country as the war of independence accelerated moved me so much that a year later I returned from Canada to live through the transition 1978-80 as a journalist. The little spot in the Zambezi river remains close to my heart.
