===Terrain=== The terrain of Zambia is mostly high [[plateau]], with some hills and [[mountain]]s. The lowest point is the [[Zambezi]] river, at {{convert|329|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} above sea level, with the highest being [[Mafinga Central]] in the [[Mafinga Hills]], at {{convert|2339|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} above sea level. Zambia is a landlocked country bordered along [[Zimbabwe]] in the south divided by [[Victoria Falls, Zambia|Victoria Falls]], [[Congo DR]] in the north, [[Tanzania]] on the northeast, [[Malawi]] on the east and [[Mozambique]] on the southeast. The general topography of the country is characterized by uplifted [[planation surface]]s. The general elevation of the nation as a whole is tended towards west to east from the [[Kalahari Basin]]. The level of land falls from the upper Congo towards the Zambezi depression in the South forming a plateau.<ref>{{cite web|title= Geography of Zambia|url=http://www.zambiatourism.com/about-zambia/geography|year=2011|access-date=19 October 2016|publisher=Zambia Tourism Board}}</ref> Zambia lies in the watershed between DR Congo and Zambezi river systems. Leaving two provinces, all other provinces lie in the country frontier formed between the continental divide separating the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, which traverses from DR Congo to the south of Tanzania. There are three major seasons: a cool dry season from April to August, a hot dry season from August to November and a warm wet season from November to April. The maximum heat is experienced during November, while the maximum rainfall is received during December. The annual rainfall is more than {{convert|700|mm|in|abbr=on}} in the Southern parts, while is more than {{convert|1100|mm|in|abbr=on}} in the northern parts. Lake Kariba is the man made lake in Africa and the second largest man made lake in the world and it stretches along the Southern border of the province.<ref>{{cite book|title=Africa South of the Sahara 2004|publisher=Psychology Press|year=2003|isbn=9781857431834|page=1995|last=Williams|first=Geoffery J.|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jj4J-AXGDaQC&q=lusaka+province+geography&pg=PA1195|chapter=Physical and social geography of Zambia}}</ref>
