Which Tanzanian mountain is the highest peak in Africa?

The Tanzanian mountain that is the highest peak in Africa is Mount Kilimanjaro.

Kilimanjaro rises to Uhuru Peak on the summit rim of Kibo, its tallest volcanic cone. The commonly cited elevation is 5,895 metres (19,341 feet), although modern surveys have produced slightly different measurements. It is also the world's highest free-standing mountain above sea level, meaning it is not part of a larger mountain range.

Kilimanjaro is a dormant stratovolcano made up of three cones: Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira. Kibo is the highest and remains potentially active, while Mawenzi and Shira are considered extinct. Climbers pass through several ecological zones, from cultivated foothills and rainforest to alpine desert and the icy summit region.

Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest mountain, while Mount Stanley in the Rwenzori range ranks lower. Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain above sea level, but it is in Asia, not Africa. The first recorded ascent of Kilimanjaro's highest summit was made in 1889 by Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller.
