Sangwali is a settlement in the Zambezi Region of north-eastern Namibia. Situated 130 kilometres south-west of the region's capital, Katima Mulilo, it serves as the administrative centre of the Judea Lyaboloma Constituency. Sangwali is the Royal Headquarters of the Yeyi people.[2][3]

Sangwali was a place of residence for David Livingstone in the 1850s before he proceeded further north. The settlement features a small museum outlining his life and work.[4]
