Kilimanjaro (Volkeno)
Tarehe 6 Oktoba 1889 Hans Meyer alikuwa mtu wa kwanza anayejulkikana kupanda mlima na kufika hadi kilele cha Kibo. Alichagua jina la "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Spitze" ("Ncha ya Kaisari Wilhelm"). That name apparently was used until Tanzania was formed in 1964, when the summit was renamed "Uhuru", meaning "Freedom Peak" in Kiswahili.
