The '''Litunga''' of [[Barotseland]] (now in [[Zambia]]) is the king or [[paramount chief]] of the [[Lozi people]]. The ''Litunga'' resides near the [[Zambezi River]] and the town of [[Mongu]], at [[Lealui]] on the floodplain in the dry season, and on higher ground at [[Limulunga]] on the edge of the floodplain in the wet season. The ''Litunga'' moves between these locations in what is known as the [[Kuomboka]] ceremony. | |||
The current ''Litunga'' is [[Lubosi II]]. | |||
