    		Mountains?

    The border between Namibia and Angola is a moountainous region with many waterfalls that are tourist attractions.

    The famed Khyber Pass goes through the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

    The inland part of Guyana is highlands rising to mountains at the border with Brazil.

    The boundary between Uganda and Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly known as, among other things, Zaire) is on the eastern edge of the Great Rift Valley. Volcanic activity in these mountains is responsible for forming Lake Albert (on the border) and for the valuable mineral deposits in the area.

    Mountains cover much of northern Thailand, although they are more prominent on the border with Myanmar than the border with Laos, which is in large part composed of the Mekong River.

    Since the last border is not actually particularly mountainous, perhaps the intended link is rivers/lakes/waterways. All of these borders have significant watery stretches.

    		Just for the record, there is no "Uganda-Zaire" border.

    Zaire is now called Democratic Republic of Congo.
