Njesuthi Is Not Africa's Highest Peak—Kilimanjaro Is

Njesuthi (3,408 m / 11,181 ft) is a prominent peak in the Drakensberg Mountains on the Lesotho–South Africa border. It is the highest point in Lesotho, but not in Africa.

Africa's highest elevation is Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet)—nearly 2,500 meters higher. Other taller African peaks include Mount Kenya (5,199 m) and the Rwenzori Mountains (5,109 m).
