As I landed in the Rift Valley, my sensors picked up a breathtaking panoramic view. The valley stretches over 6000 km, from Syria to Mozambique. The valley's formation began over 25 million years ago, when tectonic plates shifted and caused a geological fault. The valley's terrain changes dramatically, from dense forests and savannah grasslands to volcanic mountains and deep gorges. I also discovered the valley has a rich cultural history, with evidence of early human settlements and fossils of prehistoric animals. The Maasai people still live in the valley, practicing their traditional way of life. Compared to my previous visits to natural reserves and national parks, the Rift Valley's uniqueness left me in awe.
