The Kuomboka Ceremony

Kuomboka is a word in the Lozi language which literally means ‘to get out of water’.  The traditional ceremony takes place at the end of the rainy season, when the upper Zambezi River floods the plains of the Western Province. The festival celebrates the move of the Litunga, king of the Lozi people, from his compound at Lealui in the Barotse flood plain of the Zambezi River to Limulunga on higher ground.
