Ngong Rock-A Maasai Signal Rock in Tanzania
The kopje in Tanzania called Ngong Rock with boulders on top used by the Maasai to send signals. The one on the right has a metallic, hollow sound when hit by a rock. It is said to be made of material unlike any other rocks in the area. It's surface is dotted with indents from many rock hits as tribesmen sent messages across the Serengeti.
