Mongu For independent travellers, Mongu is rarely visited since it's off the beaten track. Saying this, it is also the reason that Mongu shouldn't be missed, especially as it provides for some of the best integration into Zambian daily life. The Kuomboka Ceremony in which the Lozi king moves from his summer palace to his winter palace is one of the last great ceremonies in Southern Africa. Over 100 men in traditional dress paddle in massive boats down a six hour stretch of the Zambezi before the party really begins! As well, this is the point of entry for Liuwa Plains National Park. Budget accommodation available in town.
