Where Zambezi River
When 1996
Photographer Chris Johns

"Warrior of the fishing hole, a Lozi tribesman rests after spearing a clutch of catfish on the vast Zambezi floodplain. Easy pickings, fish collect on pools during the dry season between May and October, when the river withdraws to its main channels. After the floods return, the Lozi gather in a boisterous flotilla for the festival of Kuomboka. Their canoes follow the Lozi king as he and his family move by barge to a home on higher ground."

—From "Down The Zambezi," October 1997, National Geographic magazine
