5395m (19340ft) above sea level. As Screwbag says, it's the highest separate mountain above its base level in the world. His figures are the height above the surrounding plain.

Mt. Kilimanjaro is a mountain in northeastern Tanzania. Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing mountain rise in the worldrising 4600 metres (15,000 ft) from the base, and includes the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 metres (19,340 ft), providing the dramatic view from the surrounding plains. Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano, not currently active, with fumaroles that emit gas in the crater on the main summit of Kibo. Scientists concluded in 2003 that molten magma is just 400 metres below the summit crater. Although new activity is not expected, there are fears the volcano may collapse, causing a major eruption similar to Mount St. Helens.

Kilimanjaro, formerly Kaiser-Wilhelm-Spitze, is a mountain in northeastern Tanzania. Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing mountain rise in the world,[1] rising 4600 metres (15,000 ft) from the base, and includes the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 metres (19,340 ft), providing the dramatic view from the surrounding plains. Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano, not currently active, with fumaroles that emit gas in the crater on the main summit of Kibo. Scientists concluded in 2003 that molten magma is just 400 metres below the summit crater. Although new activity is not expected, there are fears the volcano may collapse, causing a major eruption similar to Mount St. Helens. Several collapses and landslides have occurred on Kibo in the past, one creating the area known as the western breach. Although there is no recorded history of eruptions, local legend speaks of activity around 170 years ago.




The highest point is Uhuru Peak on the volcano Kibo, 5,895 metres (19,340 ft). Kibo has a 1 1/2 mile wide crater on the top of it. As the highest point in Africa, Uhuru Peak is one of the Seven Summits. The summit was first reached by the Marangu army scout, Johannes Kinyala Lauwo, who climbed it nine times before realising

Before worrying about Mt. Kilimanjaro you'd do better learning at least a little bit about writing the English language in a semblance of intelligibility.

I have climbed Mt Kilimanjaro twice, but before I did, I learned basic English and how to look up simple factual answers to simple questions.

I assume your question should state: "How high is Mt. Kilimanjaro?"

If that is true then it is 19,340 feet at it's highest peak.
