The Barotse Floodplain is a vast wetland located in western Zambia, primarily within the Western Province. It is formed by the seasonal flooding of the Zambezi River, creating a rich ecosystem that supports diverse wildlife and plant species. The floodplain is crucial for local agriculture, providing fertile land for crops during the dry season. This area is also home to the Lozi people, who have adapted their traditional lifestyles to the seasonal changes of the floodplain. The Barotse Royal Establishment plays a significant role in managing the land and resources, ensuring the cultural heritage and environmental sustainability of the region.
