Hi Mike,

there is another option which I occasionally use. Depending on the area in 
question you might find more-or-less outdated US military maps (JOG/AMS etc.) 
which have the advantage that there is no copyright associated with them. They 
tend to be fairly exact as far as terrain and waterbodies are concerned and 
sometimes are good sources for the names of such bodies as well.

For your specific area the one to choose would be
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/jog/southern_africa/se-35-7-binga-southern_rhodesia-zambia.jpg

I attached a clip of it to this mail. Looks as if these intermittent rivers are 
visible on this map, flowing WSW into the lake.

Best Regards
/Michael
