Zimbabwe is a landlocked state, bordered by Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia. The Zambezi forms a natural riverine boundary with Zambia. The climate is tropical with a rainy season (November-March). Zimbabwe has large reserves of e.g. coal, chromium ore, asbestos, gold, nickel, copper and iron ore. Furthermore, in full flood (February-April) the massive Victoria Falls on the river forms the world's largest curtain of falling water. Moreover, Lake Kariba on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border forms the world's largest reservoir by volume.
