**__Volcanoes in a region__** __**called AFRICA**__
Most African volcanoes occur from these hotspots, which is the rifting in East Africa, or a combination of the two. The East African rift is one of the world's most dramatic and bad structures. It has created the continent's highest and lowest volcanoes. Two neighboring volcanoes, Nyamuragira and Nyiragongo, in Zaire's (today's Democratic Republic of the Congo) Virunga National Park are responsible for nearly 2/5 of Africa's past eruptions. But the main point today is to get out to the world that Africa is a great place to visit to see volcanoes for any circumstance if it may be a honeymoon, family vacation, random pic of fun, whatever your choice may be. Many people have enjoyed Africa for it's massive volcanoes. It sometimes is scary but can be very romantic, exciting, exotic, and more. Africa also has amazing resorts for you to relax in. The most amazing places to chill at in Africa that has crazed volcanic activities that are mostly recommended are: Kilimanjaro, Ol Doinyo Lengai (“Mountain of God” in the Masai tongue), and Mount Cameroon. Mount Cameroon is mostly favored of them all. **ALLOW ME TO CONVINCE YOU:**

Rising 4800m above the East African plains, 270km from the shores of the Indian Ocean and measuring up to 40km across, Kilimanjaro is bizzarely strange in an exotic type of way. Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world and one that has been formed, shaped, eroded and scarred by the twin forces of fire and ice. It is actually a volcano, or rather //three volcanoes// //,// with the two main peaks, **Kibo** and **Mawenzi**, the summits of two of those volcanoes. || A number of //earthquakes//, up to 5.9 magnitude, were recorded in the area of Ol Doinyo Lengai, an active volcano in the African Rift Valley near the border between Tanzania and Kenya. Now lava flows have erupted from Ol Doinyo Lengai mountain and local residents are evacuating, from the frear of a larger eruption. || 5th century BC (around 450 BC), 1650, 1807, 1825, 1838, 1852, 1865, 1866, 1868, 1871, 1909, 1922, 1925, 1954, 1959, 1982, 1989, 1999, 2000 || Volcanoes in the African Region
