Kazungula is a border town in Zambia, on the north bank of the Zambezi River about 70 kilometres west of Livingstone on the M10 road. Here the territories of four countries, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia, come close to meeting at a quadripoint, and the boundaries are now agreed to contain two tripoints joined by a short line roughly 135 metres long that forms a boundary between Zambia and Botswana. The Kazungula Bridge, a road and rail bridge over the Zambezi opened to traffic on 10 May 2021, replaced the Kazungula Ferry, one of the largest ferries in the region, and links the town to the village of Kazungula in Botswana. Both towns are important trade transit points for Zambia and Botswana.
