Lisikili is a settlement in Namibia's Zambezi Region, located 22 kilometres southeast of the region's capital, Katima Mulilo. It falls under the Kabbe Constituency with its own Lisikili Clinic.
The settlement's name comes from the Silozi word musikili which means Mahogany Tree (Trichilia emetica). These trees are found in riverine vegetation and open woodlands.[1]
