Chirundu
A Zambian border town on the Zambezi River, Chirundu sits at the crossing point between Zambia and Zimbabwe, where two road bridges span the river. A short drive west lies the Chirundu Petrified Forest, a National Monument of Zambia containing fossilised tree trunks from the Karoo age — an unusual geological record preserved in the landscape.
