Located in Southern Africa, Namibia is a country in southern Africa bordered by South Africa, Botswana, Angola, Zambia and the Atlantic Ocean.
Although it does not border Zimbabwe, less than 200 metres of the Zambezi River (essentially a small bulge in Botswana to achieve a Botswana/Zambia micro-border) separates the two countries.
