3 Zambia The Zambezi River crosses Zambia.
The Kariba Dam spans the river, and it is also the source of the spectacular Victoria Falls. A large area of copper mines, known as a copper belt, stretches across northern Zambia. (main source of income) Urban areas, such as Lusaka, the capital, are home to workers in mining and service industries.

5 Malawi The Great Rift Valley Runs through this area.
Malawi has few mineral resources and little industry. Farmers grow tobacco, tea, sugar, and sorghum. (used to make syrup) Donations, loans, and foreign aid help support Malawi’s people.

6 Sorghum

7 Zimbabwe The largest city is Harare, the capital
Mining gold, copper, iron ore, and asbestos provides much of Zimbabwe’s income. Europeans own many of the large plantations, while many Africans work only small plots.

8 Zimbabwe A serious challenge to Zimbabwe’s economy comes from the spread of AIDS. People who have the disease often cannot work to support their families. The government lacks the means to deal with the crisis.

9 Zimbabwe Zimbabwe takes its name from an ancient African city and trading center– Great Zimbabwe. This remarkable stone fortress was built by an ethnic group called the Shona in the A.D. 1100s to 1400s.

10 Botswana The Kalahari Desert spreads over southwestern Botswana.
The Okavango River in the northwest forms one of the largest swamp areas in the world. Diamonds account for more than 75 percent of Botswana’s export income. After nearly 80 years of British colonial rule, Botswana became independent in 1966. Gaborone is the capital and largest city.
