Kuomboka Ceremony - Zambia

The Lozi people of Barotse Land escape the rising flood waters of the upper Zambezi each year in a spectacular ceremonial procession. Hundreds of dugout canoes (mokoros) accompany the Litunga - Barotse King from the royal establishment, Lealui Palace, in the flood plains to dry land. The Kuomboka is one of the attractions on Open Africa's traveller routes in South Africa. Details of which are available on our website www.openafrica.org.

This was the actual event in action - definitely not staged - very rare experience, only a few people from the outside have had the privilege to see this.

Even if I I'll cast in foreign lands my heart is ever home in Barotseland where the sounds of children are ever heard,where water is nearby and fires are far.

What do you mean staged authenticity?

[@RemcoTimmermans]

Talking about staged authenticity in tourism development.

[@orvilleford4233]

so they have been staging this ceremony for hundreds of years?

[@sitwalaimasiku6964]

White man nothing about this tradition is staged. Please do your research and stick to a culture you obviously don't have

[@butterfly9274]
