Ngorongoro prominence perhaps keeping our path jaggedly elevated at first (5)
I believe the answer is:
kopje
'ngorongoro prominence' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'keeping our path jaggedly elevated at first' is the wordplay.
'at first' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'keeping our path jaggedly elevated' is 'KOPJE'.
'perhaps' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kopje that I've seen before include "Small hill of S Africa" , "Hillock of South Africa" , "South African hill" .)
