Personally I wouldn't. Kibo is one of the three peaks of Kilimanjaro, i.e. not the actual mountain.

Lake Nyasa was a redundant name, since "Nyasa" means "Lake". Why call it Lake Lake?

About the description, the standard plural is lingua francas. Linguae francae would be the Latin plural, not linguae franca.

I typed Kilimanjaro several times and assumed it was something else. I need to learn how to spell it since whatever I typed wasn't accepted.

I would question a border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. There is no land border. Lake Tanganyika lies between the two.
