Ngondo is a festival of one of Cameroon’s various ethnic groups, and it takes place throughout the month of December as well. The festival, which takes place in the city of Douala, has as its primary objective the presentation of the arts and culture of the Sawa people, who live mostly in the coastal parts of the region (Koloss, 1988). The festival is held on the banks of the Wouri River, and it is a beautiful time to witness the streets taken over by dancing, music, and friendly contests like canoe races. The location of the event is fantastic. Those fortunate visitors who are able to come here at this period are almost certain to have a memorable adventure.
