Answer:

The Zambezi River is widely used by wildlife and humans alike. Hippos, crocodiles, baboons, elephants, hyenas and lions are some examples of wildlife you might find along the Zambezi. Humans use the river for transportation, irrigation, tourism and hydropower.

Despite the navigation drawbacks of the Orange, its contribution to agriculture is far from negligible. Farmers use its waters exhaustively for irrigation and growth of citrus fruits, which do extremely well in the Mediterranean climate of the southern African region.
