The Barotse Kingdom is a traditional monarchy located in the western part of Zambia. It is known for its rich cultural heritage and historical significance, particularly among the Lozi people. The kingdom's capital is Lealui, situated on the banks of the Zambezi River, which plays a crucial role in the local economy and lifestyle. The Barotse Kingdom is governed by a king, known as the Litunga, who oversees various cultural and administrative functions. The kingdom celebrates its traditions through festivals, such as the Kuomboka, which marks the annual migration of the Litunga from Lealui to higher ground during the rainy season.
