Nalikwanda
The Nalikwanda is the royal barge of the Litunga, the king of the Lozi of Barotseland in western Zambia. Painted in black and white stripes and topped by a model elephant, it is paddled by about a hundred men during the Kuomboka ceremony, when the Litunga moves from Lealui on the floodplain to Limulunga on higher ground as the Zambezi floods.
