Tanzania–Zambia border
The Tanzania–Zambia border is a continuous international boundary 338 km in length that separates Tanzania and Zambia in East Africa.
Route
The border begins at a tripoint where the borders of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania meet and the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia in the southern waters of Lake Tanganyika. It then extends in a northwest–southeast and eastward direction until it reaches a tripoint where the Malawi–Zambia border meets the Malawi–Tanzania border.
History
This border was established between the British colony of Northern Rhodesia and the German protectorate of Tanganyika at the end of the 19th century during the European partition of Africa.
