The Nalikwanda is a traditional wooden canoe used by the Lozi people of Western Zambia. It is crafted from a single tree trunk, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of local artisans. The canoe is designed for navigating the waterways of the Zambezi River and surrounding floodplains, making it essential for fishing and transportation. Typically, the Nalikwanda can accommodate several people and is often used during the annual Kuomboka ceremony, which celebrates the movement of the Lozi king from his floodplain palace to higher ground. This canoe symbolizes the rich cultural heritage and connection to the river for the Lozi community.
