{{TFAIMAGE|Lewanika in Edinburgh.jpg}}'''[[Lewanika]]''' (1842–1916) (also known as '''Lubosi Lewanika''' or '''Lewanika I''') was the [[Lozi people|Lozi]] [[Litunga]] (king or paramount chief) of [[Barotseland]] from 1878 to 1916 (with a break in 1884-5). A detailed, although biased, description of King 'Lubossi' (the spelling used) can be found in the Portuguese explorer Alexandre de Serpa Pinto's 1878-1879 travel narrative ''Como eu atravessei a África'' (''How I Crossed Africa'', in English translation). {{TFAFULL|Lewanika}} | |||
