Kilimanjaro is a giant Stratovolcano(19,000+ft.), another of the Supervolcano class, with three peaks Kibo(most recent eruptor), Shira, and Mawenzi.

Also, in the Southern Rift Valley Chain, are Ngorongoro, Oldonyo Lengi, Meru, Gelai, Ketumbaine, Esmingor, and 9 or 10 others. There are 20 in all(in the Southern Rift Valley), most are inactive, but a few spew ash and smoke from time to time.

Most of the recent eruptions have been to the northwest, but nothing says it has to stay that way. Glacier melts on Kibo(Kilimanjaro) could be a precursor to it becoming more active.

As active volcano in Africa could cause tens of dollars worth of damage.
