Lealui, also written Lialui, is the dry season residence of the Litunga, the king of the Lozi people of western Zambia, on the Barotse Floodplain. It lies about 14 kilometres west of the town of Mongu and about 10 kilometres east of the main channel of the river. At the end of the rainy season, generally in March, as the flood waters of the upper Zambezi reach the compound, the Litunga moves to Limulunga on higher ground, a move celebrated in the Kuomboka festival, one of the most important and popular in Zambia. Lealui stands on the Mongu-Kalabo road at the eastern end of the Barotse Floodplain causeway.
