As the saying goes you live and learn. I have always known it as the Great African Rift having googled it that is incorrect, Your name for it is correct. I have been fortunate having worked and travelled down a lot of it from Sudan through Kenya and on to Tanzania. I was a lot more adventurous in my younger days. Alas because of ongoing civil disturbances and the African equivalent of highwaymen and other bandits it is no longer safe to travel along the East African Rift.
