Overview

Dive into the heart of Garoua to discover a place rich in symbols and memory: the Idengo site, a living cradle of the traditional dyeing of Ndop, the iconic fabric of the peoples of Western Cameroon.
Located in the very center of the city, this timeless site invites you to trace the threads of a millennia-old textile art, carefully passed down from generation to generation. You’ll witness each step of the dyeing process.
By visiting Idengo, you do more than observe—you connect with the soul of a people, engage in an ancestral dialogue with time, and support local craftsmanship.
