The Kariba Dam is a double-curved concrete arch dam in the Kariba Gorge of the Zambezi River Basin between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The project was planned and implemented by the Government of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The dam is 128 m (420 ft) high and 579 m (1,900 ft) long, and it forms Lake Kariba, which stretches for 280 km (170 miles) and contains 185 km³ (150,000,000 acre⋅ft) of water. The first phase of the dam (Kariba South) was built between 1955 and 1959. Final construction and the addition of Kariba North Power were not completed until 1977 due to mainly political problems. The creation of the reservoir forced the resettlement of some 57,000 people who lived along the Zambezi on both sides. From 1958 to 1961, Operation Noah captured and removed around 6,000 large and numerous small animals threatened by the rising waters of the lake.

Victoria Falls (in Sotho language, Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke That Thunders"; in Tonga language, Shungu Namutitima, "Boiling Water") is a waterfall on the Zambezi River located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and is one of the world's largest waterfalls due to its width of 1,708 m (5,604 ft). The Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone is believed to have been the first European to view the Victoria Falls on November 16, 1855, from what is now known as Livingstone Island, one of two land masses in the middle of the river, immediately upstream from the falls near the Zambian shore. Livingstone named his sighting in honour of Queen Victoria. The 101 m (331 ft) tall the Eastern Cataract is located in the territory of Zambia. Victoria Falls were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1989, protecting an area of 8,780 ha. Since 2010 they are integrated into the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area.

Rhodesia is a historical region in southern Africa whose formal boundaries evolved between the 1890s and 1980. Demarcated and named by the British South Africa Company (BSAC), which governed it until the 1920s, it thereafter saw administration by various authorities. It was bisected by a natural border, the Zambezi river. The territory to the north of the Zambezi was officially designated Northern Rhodesia by the company, and has been Zambia since 1964; that to the south, which the company dubbed Southern Rhodesia, became Zimbabwe in 1980. The term Rhodesia was first used to refer to the region by white settlers in the 1890s who informally named their new home after Cecil Rhodes, the company's founder and managing director.

The Colony of Southern Rhodesia was a land-locked self-governing British Crown colony in southern Africa, established in 1923 and consisting of British South Africa Company territories lying south of the Zambezi River. Stamps with this denomination were issued from 1924 to 1964, the year in which they began to be issued with the denomination of Rhodesia until 1978. From 1980 the stamps of the new independent republic appeared with the name of Zimbabwe.
