KOMBOKA
The annual Lozi ceremony where the Litunga, the Lozi King, goes from Lealui,
his palace on the flood plains, to Limulunga, his palace on land.
"Komboka" literally means "to move to higher ground"


This is the traditional dress of the Lozi men. It's called a Siziwa.
(It kinda looks like a crinkle skirt)
I love this shot, because you can really see the guys in the trees
Best view in the house
A glimpse of the crowd that has 
gathered to welcome their king
These are the scouts. They are responsible for checking to make sure the harbour is secure They come in and out three times in order to assure the safety of the King First glimpse of the boat
The men row in... and out... and in again before the 
Litunga disembarks
 
The boat for the Litunga's wife
The chefs to the Litunga arrive
 We tried to get a photo of the Litunga, but there were too many people
