Ugweno
Ugweno (or ''Vughonu'' to its inhabitants) is located within the Mwanga District, Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania, Africa. It is situated at 3° 39' 0" South and 37° 39' 0" East in the Pare Mountains. The people who live in Ugweno are known as Wagweno (or ''Vaghonu'' to its inhabitants) and their common language is Kigweno (or ''Kighonu'' to its inhabitants). History The original inhabitants of this area are the ''Shana'' clan (or clan of blacksmiths). Even the name ''Ugweno'' is derived from a notably popular ''Shana'' ruler, known as ''Mghonu'', who ruled somewhere between the 13th and 15th century. A precise date is hard to establish given 'the great ''Shana'' disruption' when they were deposed of their rule. During his rule, the area was known as the Mountains of Mghonu as far afield as the Taita region in Kenya. When the ''Suya'' clan migrated to the region; ambushed and wiped out almost all of the Shana clan, the origins of the name ''Ugweno'' was either less known or purpose ...

It is the highest volcano in Africa and the Eastern Hemisphere. Kilimanjaro is the fourth most topographically prominent peak on Earth. It is part of Kilimanjaro National Park and is a major hiking and climbing destination.
