The Only Place on Earth Where Four Nations' Borders Meet

- There's only one place on Earth where you can be in four countries at once; and it's in Africa. Learn more about Bright Trip at www.brighttrip.com/courses?ut...
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.
Thanks to Richard Kok for the drone footage of Mosi-Oa-Tunya

I like how you consistently referred to the falls as Mosi-oa-Tunya 🇿🇲
I'll also stop calling it the Vic Falls..😅
Apa it's Mosi-oah-Tunya
"THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS"!! ....it never gets old.
victoria is not African name, so he has my support 100%
Does it mean blowing smoke? I mean since we are bantu speaking nations and I'm a Motswana it really sounds like it means a blowing smoke or blown smoke and i like that.. Not vic falls 😏
He loves Africa and it's history
They should make another bridge between Namibia and Zimbabwe and have them cross each other with a roundabout. Make both bridges and a roundabout into a no-mans-land, and put immigration booths after coming off the bridge in any of the four countries.
As a Zambian, I can say it's an amazing place, especially since a new bridge was commissioned
As a fellow Zambian, I agree. Thinking of relocating to Kazungula just because of the bridge.
@@jacobstone4354 lol I wouldn't say move theirs just because of the bridge,but at least it gives you the opportunity to enjoy both countries instead of the mess that was the pontoon
As a Zambian, I'd like to say hi 👋
@@mwikakalima24 👋🏿Good day to you too
It's a nice bridge but with all the truck traffic, shouldn't be a double 2 or 3 lane bridge? Have to think for the future, bridge lasts long.
Love from 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?
Fun fact: if you put your palm upside down with your thumb stick out it’s namibia map 😄👍🏻
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 also consider Zambia as my second country after the Netherlands.... Did marry a Zambian woman, everytime I'm going I feel so welcome in the country (rich or poor). Will be in Zambia again next week. Going to Livingstone but never went to this four countries border. Who knows I will go there
Very good to hear you call it by it's real name. "Mosi o tunya" -the smoke that thunders. Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
As an Australian, the first sight of that smoke and I immediately thought "Bushfire" . Then going down the side of the falls on the Zambian side blew my mind. Feeling the soaking ' thunder' throbbing through the soul so loud it blocks out everything but sheer exhilaration. From the Zimbabwe side looking down at the falls with the circular rainbows and majesty that is Africa. And further up the Batoka Gorge perched high above the mighty Zambezi, the stuff of legend.
I feel so privileged to have been to this incredible part of our amazing world.
@@triarb5790 It's truly magnificent. A very surreal experience.
Kuda nyahoja: Such a beautiful, poetic name as well!
Its called Victoria Falls
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
Amazing place, one of the friendliest borders as well, I live here.
Amazing!
As a Namibian History youtuber, Thanks for this lesson..
However it's a lie that David Livingstone was the first to lay eyes on this beautiful place hahahaha these colonizers. Some history is scam
@@blessingmafuka7987 I think he said David Livingstone was the 1st European to have seen it
hmmm! balance me quick then. Who are the caprivian people of caprivi then?
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
Zambia my country, a beautiful place to be.
"Britain wanted to claim a stupid big piece of land" 😂😂
I Love how educational this is 👏🏾 . Zambian over here 🇿🇲
Haha, thanks 🙌
Zambia a land of peace, tranquility and friendly.
As a Zambian myself I've enjoyed this video.
The smoke that thunders, what a pretty intimidating name lol
It is 😅
Let's just call it Vicky Falls 😂😂😂
@@kumbeetjirimuje4193 I mean let's not? You can call it that and I can call it something else.
And I'm not going to argue with the people that live next to it whatever they choose to call it.
@@Jay-ho9io it was a joke 😅... I'm all for decolonisation. Just added the laughing emojii's.
@@kumbeetjirimuje4193 like seriously bro 1 step forward and 10 steps backwards?
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.
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.
Love this piece! Love from Zambia. 🇿🇲
Chabwino
I want to come visit Zambia
As Zimbabwean, i loved that little piece of knowledge, gonna share that with my mom. She will love this, thank you.
Aww, thanks 😊
Just found this channel today. Really enjoyed this video, it was critical and informative. I, myself, (as a child) travelled the Zambezi river with my mother. Some of the most formative memories I have came from the region. Very happy to stumble upon this channel !

Thanks for the great explanation. I'd always wondered about this border, and now I'm enlightened.
