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

I could finish it at first attempt, so I guess it's quite easy. I appreciate some other country quizzes rather then the usual popular ones!

How odd that more people got Lake Malawi than Lake Tanganyika, which the country used to be named after!

Because people type Malawi for bordering countries and it automatically fills in Lake Malawi too

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

I enjoyed this. Totally forgot about the Maasai.

Also, funny that the sultan of Oman once lived on Zanzibar.

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

Both versions are acceptable. The Latin version feels sexier to me.

For economic sector I knew it was agriculture but I was getting too detailed, trying to think of which crop.

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.

I learned that the DRC and Tanzania only border through lake Tanganyika. Would that still qualify as a border?
