Located in Tanzania, it is a dormant stratovolcano consisting of three volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, with Kibo being the highest point. It is also recognized as the highest free-standing mountain in the world. In comparison, Mount Kenya is the second-highest peak on the continent at 5,199 meters. Mount Elgon, situated on the border of Kenya and Uganda, reaches 4,321 meters, while the Atlas Mountains in North Africa reach their highest point at Jebel Toubkal, which stands at 4,165 meters. Therefore, Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest among the options provided.
