Kuomboka is a traditional ceremony celebrated by the Lozi people of Western Province, Zambia. It marks the annual migration of the king, known as the Litunga, from his flooded palace to higher ground during the rainy season. The event symbolizes the transition from the wet to the dry season and is an important cultural celebration.
During Kuomboka, the Litunga travels in a decorated canoe called the Nalikwanda, accompanied by a procession of boats and dancers. The ceremony attracts many visitors and showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Lozi, including traditional music, dance, and attire.
