Monuments to visit Mongu

The palace occupied by the Lozi king during the dry season (July to March) is located 13 km from Mongu, in the heart of the flood plains, which forces the village to move to Limalunga during the rains. The new road linking Mongu to Kalabo and Angola facilitates access to Lealui. In fact, Lealui is a typical village of huts, of which the king's hut is a little larger. The welcome is warm and visitors should show respect for the king's court. Renovated in 2017, it is open to visit by appointment on weekdays.

The residence of the lozi king, or Litunga, and his court (the kotu) during the rainy season has a more modern and imposing appearance than the summer palace. Guards watch over the building when the king stays there, between March and June. Unfortunately, the interior of the palace cannot be visited. Limulunga is 15 km north of Mongu on a paved road. Minibuses constantly shuttle between the two localities. It is of course a Mecca for the Kuomboka ceremony, which celebrates the annual transition from one residence of the king to the other.
