It is the highest mountain in Africa, and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895 metres or 19,341 feet above sea level. A free-standing mountain means that it is not part of a mountain range.

Mount Kilimanjaro has seven distinctive peaks with Uhuru Peak accounting for the mountains highest elevation at 19,341 feet. A 1.5 mile wide crater is featured as part of the Kibo portion of the mountain.
