Ngorongoro Highlands, Tanzania
Some of the volcanoes of the East African Rift Zone, (the big one is Ela Naibori), the largest seismically active rift system on the planet today.
The African tectonic plate is splitting in two at the rate of 6 -7 mm a year. The larger western plate, (the Nubian), will break off from the eastern plate, (the Somali), and a new ocean basin will form.
If you live in Somalia, you have about 10 million years to move.
