The Ngendelengo are a minority ethnic group that inhabits the forested mountains of Serrada Chela (Angola).
They are herdsmen, hunters and semi-nomadic subsistence farmers. Their ecosystem has lately allowed them to create a small business based on the sale of coal, which they distribute in spots near the road. Machetes are an essential part of their attire, which is complemented by large crests as a hairstyle for unmarried boys and múltiple topknots for women. The rest of their traditional culture includes two-storey barns and bull worship rituals.
