The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest and without delay, these are the top 10 highest mountains in Africa.
10. Mount Ras Dashen(Ethiopia) - Height - 4.550m
Ras Dejen is the highest mountain in Ethiopia and tenth highest mountain of Africa. As part of Simien Mountains National Park located in the Amhara Region, it reaches an elevation of 4,550 meters. Due to the height of this mountain, it frequently snows on the summit during cold evening temperatures but the vast temperature differences between night and day means that this snow doesn’t last long as soon as the sun rises. In winter snow falls rarely, since the majority of Ethiopia's yearly rainfall is in the summer, but if it does it usually lasts for weeks or months.The first recorded ascent by a Eurasian was in 1841, by the French officers Ferret and Galinier. There is no verifiable evidence of earlier ascents by locals, but the summit climate and conditions are relatively hospitable, and there are nearby high-altitude pastoral settlements.
9. Mount Meru(Tanzania) - Height - 4.566m
The ninth highest mountain in Africa falls to Mount Meru in Tanzania, just lying 70km west of the highest peak in this video, Mount Meru sits at 4,566m. The majority of this mountain was actually lost during a volcanic eruption over 8,000 years ago that blew away much of the eastern side of this volcano. After a few recent eruptions, with the most recent being a minor eruption in 1910, Mount Meru is now considered a dormant volcano.
8. Mount Luigi Di Savoia(Congo / Uganda) - Height - 4.627m
After ascending the six highest mountains in the Ruewnzori Range, with 16 peaks bagged in total during his expedition to the region in 1906, Prince Luigi Amedeo finally had a peak named after himself after reaching the summit of Mount Luigi Di Savoia on 18th June 1906. Mount Luigi Di Savoia is similar to the other larger peaks in the region in that it is composed of many s
Coming in at the 7th position is mount Gessi at 4715m. The twin peaks of Mount Gessi create another jagged ridgeline that is flanked by large glaciers on its northern side, although these are retreating fast. Prince Luigi Amedeo and his team of explorers observed that the whole of the western side of Mount Gessi had been covered by a glacier during their first ascent of this peak, these glaciers have now shrunk down to a small ice sheet. The mountain is located between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda and is a tourist hotspot.
6. Mount Emin (DR Congo) - Height - 4.789m
Mount Emin is made of up two peaks of a similar height, a north and a south peak, with a large glacier sandwiched in between the two peaks. The south peak, named Umberto is the largest of the two and was first ascended again by Prince Luigi Amedeo and two companions in 1906, which was impressive given the fairly technical nature of climbing involved to ascend the southern ridge up to Umberto.Mount Emin is one of the six mountains of the Ruwenzori range and like Mount Gessi, it is located north of the triangle formed by Mounts Stanley, Speke, and Baker. Emin and Gessi lie on either side of a long narrow valley running north-south. Emin's twin summits are Umbertoand Kraepelin. The mountain rises to a rocky north-south ridge with the higher peak at the southern end.
5. Mount Baker (Uganda) - Height - 4.844m
Also sitting in the Ruwenzori Mountains National Park and just 2.3 kilometers from neighboring Mount Stanley is Mount Baker, Mount Baker reaches a lofty height of 4,844m. Similarly, to all of the other peaks situated in the Ruwenzori Mountains National Park, Mount Baker is comprised of a cluster of fairly inaccessible summits joined together by a jagged ridgeline which is topped by Edward Peak, which was first climbed again by none other than Prince Luigi Amedeo.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING US THIS VIDEO
Proud to be a Ugandan
Very informative. Thanks for sharing
It pains me when they state white guys discovering africas mountains... as if us locals were not there
Look for a documentary called Hidden truth. there's a lot that we don't know cause they don't want us to know
@Alexander Rusenescu not true..... am from tz.... there were ways(routes) to the top even before whites arrival
No one kept records of such things before the Europeans. Thus the Europeans were the first to summit those mountains IN RECORDED HISTORY.
Thanks, very interesting
Amazing and scuribe to see all
Thanks of these video it helps people to see and know the nature's of highest mountains in Africa

East Africa is the most beautiful country in all the Africa
Smoking dust
Quite clearly Nankya Juliet you were not an "A" student in Geography, as you cannot distinguish what is a country and what is a region. East Africa is NOT a country but a region, time for you to go back to school.
@@karlschultz9334 That's why I said he must be smoking something 🤣🤣
@@karlschultz9334 I think he's talking about the EAC
@@licioussamuels Do not overthink anything, facts are our friends, and whatever "HE" is talking about is simply not factual
I love your contents
Most in East Africa
thats because the west was pushed under the north american continent, most of the "western african" mountains are the appalachians
All them are in eastAfrica🇺🇬🇰🇪🇹🇿🇨🇩🇪🇹
This will teach me very well
You mean to tell me that the Africans who lived in these countries never bothered to climb these mountains 🙄
Africans need to write their own history.....not tjis madness of being tol0d th0at it was discovered by Foreign kakalu
I am african and I agree mabye because they were to cold
Well, some Africans may have climbed them first but they never wrote it down. The Europeans were the first who climbed them in RECORDED HISTORY.
Kwagala Uganda yenge

Where's mount fako (Cameroon)🇨🇲???
Wrong statistics...in the history of africa we are told mount fako is the tallest in africa....where do u get your findings...from speculation
You are wrong bro, I am cameroonian and the tallest mt. in africa is in tanzania ie Mt kilimanjaro.

Exactly that mt. Emin is actually mt. Kenya

U never go to Enugu Nigeria. U will be astonish
Top ten high lying cities of Africa in increasing order of their altitude.
Where is Table Mountain
U r joking right😁
Table Mountain isn't as high
If this was a list of the ten most famous peaks in Africa, Table Mountain would be in the top five. But it’s barely 1,086 metres tall.
In Rwanda
Mt. Kilimanjaro was initially supposed to be within Kenyan territory but was given to Tanzania as a peace offering between the Queen of England - who was overseeing the British East African and the German forces who had taken over Tanzania at the time.
Very true

Hi
The narrator sounds like he is on top of a mountain
please make sure you got enough information about your content. RAS DASHEN IS #4 with 4620 m above S.L
Y everything is belong eastern africa eg greatest lake in Africa is east, great refit valley, highest mountains is east and so on.
Because east Africa is blessed..
The same Highlands are the reason why E Africa is the only arid region that lies along the equator, as the mountains cause rainshadows that become both hot and cold deserts, the snows from the mountains feed most rivers in E Africa. Also this makes E Africa get temperate forests, just like European and North American forests, instead of Tropical rain Forests
You forget Congo
Why are so many mountain peaks in Africa named after Europeans?
Mount cameroon is found in which position?
They left out mt lnyanga
Don’t call it Mount Kilimanjaro call just Kilimanjaro becouse kilima means mountain in the local language KISWAHILI
Thanks for watching....Greatly appreciate your advice.
I think there is no any wrong with him ..cause we need to start with the word mount.
Doesn't matter the translation in local language
If you say Kilimanjaro alone tastes nothing
You are confusing people, it is called mlima kilimanjaro in swahili when you translate in English it is mount kilimanjaro so narrator is right
Kilimanjaro is region not a mountain, if you want to address the mountain you have to say mount Kilimanjaro
There are several examples of the type. "Sahara" means "desert". Talking about the "Sahara Desert" is the same duplication. I have met a name of a lake in Finland that was filtered through three languages. Every surveyor that came around added the word for "lake" in his language until it sounded Lake, Lake, Lake $$$.
It's an East Africa affair
Listen to tunachek list and this list about afr mountains it all diff,that's means the list is not true.
That's funny these people comes into Africa and put their names on things, and there are no African names in Europe, makes me wonder
Dalton Harmon, one of the problems in the names given, is about who is the powerhouse at the time. Hence, we are yet to find any Black African races that dominated Europe. It can be contested that the Egyptians are black but historically that is still debatable. Particularly European names are given to areas of Conquest, furthermore, in terms of those powerhouses or countries, they made claims by the names they promulgated by formulating historical records. We know that in northern regions of Africa like Mali, in the clay city of Timbouctou (a Toureg name) (Timbuktu) ancient libraries of books and journals abound with a host of African names and records detailing the past history. Possibly many of these records were not fully understood so the new Colonial master and conquerors simply "EURONISED" whatever suited them for simplicity and hence time and history dictated those names to remain into present-day time.
Most of us already knew what was going to be #1
What i disliked most is that to many of the mountains are named after Europeans..
Well, if Africans had bothered to give the peaks names earlier that might not have happened. But they didn’t. The vast majority of names in Africa are African.
Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿💙🇹🇿💙🇹🇿💙🇹🇿💙🇹🇿💙
I think we should be talking about peaks. Your basic knowledge ia also poor. The name kenya comes from?
Dedicate this to FUGY my PUMPKIN
number 6 is Mt kenya stop lying
So disappointed with one I thought that is ginna be mt Rwezori
They're called rwenzori ranges
He called it Mount Stanley. Third highest mountain in Africa
Once again this program gives the viewers disinformation. Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya are NOT mountains, but Volcanoes, active or inactive. Mountains geographically are formed totally different to how volcanoes are formed. The activities of a volcano and or a mountain or range come into the topography of an area very very differently. Time for the producers of this program to go back to school and revise Africa's tallest mountains and mountain ranges. The name that's given to Kilimanjaro and Kenya as Mount does not mean they are mountains. The word mount simply means: A mass of earth, or earth and rock, rising considerably above the common surface of the surrounding land.
They are both volcanic Mountains
@@stephenkatua9395 You need to go back to school buddy and understand how mountains and volcanoes are formed. Quite frankly you just dont know, that is so evidently clear. Neither Kilimanjaro or Kenya are mountains, but Volcanoes.
Fake list
...about everything being or supposed to be in Kenya:
...Everything in East Africa was presumably supposed to be in Kenya to satisfy the interests of the white Kenyans; the white settlers. The eastern boundary of Uganda was initially in the area of the present day town of Naivasha in Kenya. They kept moving the Kenya western frontier westward so the settlers could have more land and settle their issues from Nairobi other than Kampala. The last Eastern Ugandan land was given to Kenya in 1922 as a birthday gift to Queen Victoria!! They re-drew the boundary to include Lake Victoria!! When Amin talked of this history during his time, the then president Kenyatta senior, nearly went to war with Amin. The famous fact about all this is; Barack Obama 's grandfather was born in then Uganda. His dad was born in Kenya - of course after the famous land grab. Go figure.
