Nariele

Nariele, also called Naliele, was a royal centre on the floodplain of the upper Zambezi. Like other settlements of the plain, it stood on an artificial mound above the seasonal waters. The river's changing course could wear away such raised ground, even where generations had laboured to build it. Nariele was a capital of the Lozi kingdom during the reign of Mulambwa in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
