Kariba Dam Wall

Forming the border between Zambia (Siavonga) and Zimbabwe is the Kariba dam wall. It's an impressive engineering feat that you can walk the length across; you'll need to leave your passport or ID with the immigration office. At the time of construction, it was the world's biggest dam and still today remains one of the largest.
