- Source: List of highest mountain peaks of Africa
This is a list of the highest mountain peaks of Africa with a prominence of at least 500 metres (1,640 ft). Some regions are still poorly described and the list is likely to be both incomplete and not completely accurate. This is especially true for the Ethiopian Highlands, where heights on maps and in the literature differ between each other by up to 500 m. All elevations have been checked or chosen to match the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission-based contour lines in the Google terrain maps.
The highest African mountain is Kilimanjaro, which has three peaks, named Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira, of which Kibo is the tallest. Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa which also has three main peaks, namely Batian, Nelion and Lenana Point.
