Which one among the following African countries is not landlocked ?

Among the listed African countries, Angola is the only one that is not landlocked. It is situated on the Atlantic coast of Southern Africa [2]. The Benguela Railway connects the interior Katanga-Zambia Copper Belt to the Angolan coast, facilitating maritime trade [1]. In contrast, Zambia, Uganda, and Zimbabwe are all landlocked nations [2]. Zambia is located in Southern Africa, bordered by countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe. Uganda is an East African landlocked country traditionally associated with trade through the Indian Ocean [3]. Zimbabwe is situated in Southern Africa between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers, bordered by South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, and Mozambique, lacking direct access to any ocean. Africa contains 16 landlocked countries, the highest number of any continent.
