When we went on our way to Livingstone, we first took a look at Kariba Dam. This detour was not too wise, because we had a long way to go still. Anyway the scenery is nice.
An enormous amount of "free energy" is generated here. Part for Zambia and part for Zimbabwe. A lot of power is used for Zimbabwe (Zambia sold all generated electricity before). At the moment there are a lot of power cuts in Zambia. The power is shut off for some hours in the evening to save electricity. It would be difficult for both countries to expand their electricity production, because the rivers are used for the biggest part (except for Victoria and Ngonye Falls). In the future Zambia will probably have to use fuel to produce electricity also. Using more solars and Led or tube light can save a lot of electricity also.
