Early good charts of Kilimandjaro were published by the direction of the British government of l' land surveying d' overseas (DOS 422 Y742) in 1963. They were based on the air photography carried out since 1959 by the RAF. The first related to a scale of 1:50.000 with contours with intervals of 100 feet. They are from now on inalienable. Tourist cartography has d' access published by l' Ordnance Survey in England, in 1989, based on the mapping of DOS d' origin (1: 100.000, of the intervals of 100 feet, DOS 522).
This n' is from now on more available. EWP produced a plan with tourist information in 1990 (1: 75,000, 100 m intervals of contour, paperboards of Kibo and Mawenzi on 1:20,000 and 1:30,000 scales and 50 m respectively équidistance). It is regularly updated and at its 4th edition. In the last years many other charts became available various qualities.

One does not know where the name comes from Kilimandjaro, but a certain number of theories exist. The European explorers adopted the name in 1860 and indicated qu' it was its name swahili, that Kilimandjaro pauses Kilima (swahili means " hill, small mountain”) and Njaro, of which l' supposed origin varies according to the theories, according to For some, it s' d' acts; an old word swahili kiswahili for the white or glossing or of l' origin not swahili, a word of the Kichagga language, the jaro word which means caravan. The problem with all that, c' is qu' they cannot explain why the diminutive kilima is used instead of the clean word for the mountain, Mlima.
The name could be a current joke, referring to the " hill little Njaro" being largest of mountain on the African continent, puisqu' it s' d' acts; a close city, and guides tell that c' is the hill of the Njaro people. A different approach consists in supposing that comes from the kilmanare Kichagga or kileajao direction” which beats l' bird/Leopard/caravan”.
However, this theory cannot explain the fact that Kilimandjaro n' used forever in front Kichagga in Europe in the middle of the years 1800 . In the years the 1880 mountain, at that time spelled Kilima-Ndscharo in German follows the components name swahili, became part of l' German Eastern Africa after Karl Peters had persuaded the local leaders to sign treaties (a history common that the Victoria queen to the mountain for Kaiser Guillaume II n' is not true).  In 1889, the top of Kibo was named " Kaiser-Wilhelm-Spitze" (" Kaiser Wilhelm pic") of Hans Meyer, on the first rise towards the top on October 5, 1889.  This name was used jusqu' in 1918, when, after the First World War the German colonies were given to l' worsen British. When Colombia-managed Tanganyika reached l' independence in 1961, the peak was named “peak Uhuru”, which means “the freedom of pointe" in swahili.
The Ki prefix in swahili has several subjacent significances. L' old Ka prefixes substantive diminutive (which is now only like Kadogo - a small degree), amalgamated with the Ki class. One of its significances is to also describe something d' single in its kind. Kilima a single peak in opposition to Mlima, which would make it possible to better describe an assembly line or undulating countries. Several other mountains carry also this prefix. Kilima Mbogo (Buffalo Mountain), just in the north of Nairobi in Kenya. The handicapped people are also placed in this class, not so much like an idea diminutive but a single condition qu' they have. Blind men or deaf persons and Kipofu Kiziwi. That n' imply in any way a pejorative direction.
