Fun Facts about Mt. Kilimanjaro
•  One thing I found interesting about Kilimanjaro
is that it has three volcanic cones, Mawenzie,
Shira, and Kibu. It’s last major eruption was
about 360,000 years ago.
•  Also that Kilimanjaro has no certain origin, but
one of the most popular theories is that it
came from Kilma Njaro meaning ‘’shining
mountain’’ in Swahili.
