When it comes to planning the ultimate African adventure, choosing between Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya can be a difficult decision. Both mountains offer breathtaking views and incredible hiking opportunities, but how do they stack up in terms of height?

Mount Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania, is Africa’s tallest mountain and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Standing at a staggering 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level, Kilimanjaro is a bucket-list destination for many avid hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The mountain is home to a diverse range of ecosystems, from lush rainforests to barren alpine deserts, making it a truly unique and awe-inspiring destination.

On the other hand, Mount Kenya, located in Kenya, is the second tallest mountain in Africa, with its highest peak, Batian, reaching 5,199 meters (17,057 feet) above sea level. While not as tall as Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya offers its own set of challenges and rewards for those willing to take on the climb. The mountain is famous for its rugged terrain, stunning glaciers, and unique wildlife, including rare and endangered species such as the mountain bongo and the giant forest hog.
