Tidak semua titik dalam daftar ini adalah gunung atau bukit, beberapa hanyalah ketinggian yang tidak dapat dibedakan sebagai fitur geografis.
Catatan disediakan jika perselisihan wilayah atau ketidakkonsistenan memengaruhi daftar. Mesir memiliki sebagian wilayah mereka dan titik tertinggi mereka di luar Afrika; titik tinggi non-Asia mereka terdaftar dengan entri peringkat N/A di bawah puncak kontinental mereka. Di sisi lain, Spanyol memiliki sebagian wilayahnya dan titik tertingginya di Afrika.
Satu negara yang diakui sebagian dengan titik tertinggi di Afrika terdaftar dan diberi peringkat dalam "Italic". Untuk detail lebih lanjut lihat Daftar negara dengan pengakuan terbatas.

↑Monalanong Hill is a mountain often considered the highest point of Botswana, with a questioned altitude of 1,494 metres (4,900 feet). This datum comes from the SRTM database just as the 1,491 m for Otse. The error range of these data is significantly higher (approximately 15 m), but a British explorer did a GPS reading on the top of both hills, and his measurement showed Otse slightly higher.

↑Claims that Mont Iboundji is the highest point and more than 1500 metres high are not supported by SRTM data.
