Mlima Kenya
Wakikuyu wanaishi kusini na magharibi mwa mlima. Wao ni wakulima na hulima katika udongo mwekundu wa volkeno. Wakikuyu waamini kwamba Mungu wao, "Ngai"  aliishi juu ya Mlima Kenya aliposhuka kutoka mbinguni. Wao wanaamini kuwa mlima ni kiti cha enzi cha Ngai duniani. Ni mahali ambapo Gikuyu, baba wa kabila, alitumia kukutana na Mungu wao, Ngai. Jina kwa ajili ya Kikuyu Mlima Kenya ni "Kĩrĩnyaga"  (Kirinyaga), tafsiri yake ikiwa ni mlima mweupe. Linatokana na weupe wa theluji.
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.
