THE MOVING MOUNTAIN.

In one of my many visits to Tanzania, i visited the mysterious mountain in Ngorongoro, and ooooh my the mountain moves, i guess this should be included in the history book as the ninth wonder of the world. according to Mark the Mountains normally don't move, but there is a mysterious hill of dark sand which has been travelling at the speed of 20 meters per year in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCCA).

and former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, once expressed concern why the country is not marketing this wonder of nature as much as it deserves. "I once picked a handful of the sand from the dune and placed it in the car and surprisingly it continued to move even in there,"

This hill is breath taking and as a traveler

it is a place to visit.

SHIMBA HILLS

Waddle into the fascinating world of our most endangered bird and Animals off the beaten track and away from the tourist traps. In an easy, 1 hour-stroll, across the rain-forest, tarred road, and wooded boardwalk, we will go into secret spaces that only the penguins know. From encountering sprightly new-born chicks during breeding-season (March to July) to seeing the adults in their annual molt (September to November), or just to enjoy the sight of birds being birds, you’ll learn how to tell a "she" from a "he", how to tell their age, and also participate in real-time research by helping to collect data about the birds we encounter. We will meet a supporting cast of coastal creatures; birds, insects, plants, reptiles and mammals.
