ngiti
Ngiti is a Bantu ethnic group primarily located in the northern regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), particularly in the provinces of Ituri and Haut-Uélé.

The Ngiti traditionally live in the Ituri Rainforest, a dense and remote area known for its biodiversity and cultural richness.
