Chirundu, Zimbabwe
Eastern Africa
Chirundu is a village and border post in Zimbabwe on the border with Zambia, in Mashonaland West province. The name means Big Hill. The village is located on the banks of the Zambezi river and so lies in the hot Zambezi Valley. It is the site of the Chirundu Bridges, two road bridges across the Zambezi. On the Zambian side of the river is a slightly larger town also called Chirundu. The bridge is the principal border crossing for traffic travelling from Harare in Zimbabwe to Lusaka in Zambia, and elephants frequently wander through the village.
