Explanation:

1- Zambezi is a river in southern Africa and Africa's fourth longest river. It has its sources in eastern Angola and is a border river between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The river flows through Mozambique before it flows into the Indian Ocean. It has a length of 2,660 kilometers and has several tributaries, including the Luangwa River.

The Zambezi River contains the world's largest waterfall, the Victoria Falls, and the hydroelectric power plants Kariba and Cahora Bassa.

2- The Zaire or Congo River is Central Africa's longest river, and Africa's second longest after the Nile, with a total length of 4,670 kilometers. The river is the world's second most abundant river (after the Amazon River), and the world's deepest river (about 225 meters). Congo and its tributaries flow through the world's second largest rainforest and have the world's second largest river basin (both after the Amazon).

3- The Niger is the third river in Africa in terms of length and area of the river basin (after the Nile and Congo). Niger and Nigeria took their names from the river. It is the most important river of West Africa, its length is 4221 km, and the river basin area is about 2,117,700 km². It flows on the territory of Guinea, Mali, Niger, Benin and Nigeria.

4- The Nile has a length of 5499 to 6695 km (by different means of measurement), making it the longest river in the world.

The Nile rises as Blue Nile in Ethiopia on Lake Tana and as White Nile on Lake Victoria. Lake Victoria is located between the three countries Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. The White Nile then flows from here via South Sudan to Sudan, where the two branches (the White and the Blue Nile) meet at the capital Khartoum. Then the river flows through Egypt to the north, and finally flows into a spacious delta into the Mediterranean Sea.
