The Kuomboka Ceremony 2022 - Victorious Arrival of the Litunga at Limulunga from Lealui

The Kuomboka means “to get out of the water onto dry ground”. The ceremony takes place at the end of the rainy season (anytime from February to May) as the flood plain in the Upper Zambezi Valley rises. The Kuomboka traditional ceremony is celebrated by the Lozi Speaking people of Western Zambia, during the ceremony the king moves from his palace in Lealui in the lower plains of the Barotse to the Higher ground in Limulunga. Drums beat throughout to coordinate and energise the paddlers of the barge. The most important are the three royal war drums – kanaona, munanga, and mundili – each more than one metre wide The journey to Limulunga normally takes about 6–8 hours.
