Tricky question;
Not according to wikipedia:
Zimbabwe borders South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the northwest, and Mozambique to the east.
Namibia shares borders with Angola, and Zambia to the north, Botswana to the east, and South Africa to the south.
Looking at a map it seems 4 countries meet at one point: Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana. Where the Zambesi and Chobe rivers meet. However from a zoomed in map [3] it is clear that it is not a single point but two points separate Zimbabwe from Namibia by about 1km.
The Caprivi Strip, part of Namibia because the British ceded it to Germany in 1890 in exchange for the Germans renouncing their claim to Zanzibar, juts out - like the Florida panhandle, the CIA might say - along the northern frontier of Botswana. X marks the spot where Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana meet: there is no Zambia/Botswana or Zimbabwe/Namibia border.

No, Zimbabwe and Namibia don't border each other . The borders are just close to each other app 1.34Km. That gap borders Botswana and Zambia . The fact that makes it confusing is the relations between the National Parks Zambezi National Park . Any tourist visiting any of those 4 countries could actually tour the Zambezi National Park . thereby to the tourist it will seem the Namibia Caprivi strip borders Zimbabwe but it doesn't .

In actual fact Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia meets at the Victoria falls. But the border is really shared betwen zimbabwe, zambia and botswana.

No they don't. They come very close though - Namibia's northeast corner is only about a mile and a half away from Zimbabwe's northwest corner, but they don't touch each other - Botswana intervenes between them. Look at the mapquest link below (click "Map" on the top left corner of the page near the two textboxes) for proof.
