Travel guide of Mountain Elgon
Clouds encircle the lofty rim of Africa's Mount Elgon, a huge, long-extinct volcano on the border between Uganda and Kenya. The solitary volcano has one of the world's largest intact calderas, a cauldron-like central depression. The caldera is about 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) across and formed following an eruption, when the emptied magma chamber collapsed under the weight of volcanic rock above it.

In Kenya, you can take a boat safari to see some amazing wildlife that live on Lake Naivasha. The day we went, there were lots of hippo in the area. They can be aggressive and dangerous, so the guides usually won’t pull their boats up too close. We were making one last slow circle around a couple of sleepy hippo when this one opened its mouth and let out a big yawn. I almost missed the shot and took this just as our guide cranked up the speed on his motor to head to another part of the lake.
