No. Kilimanjaro is a little south to the equator, but these mountains are slightly north to the equator and along the Nile.

Correct, hamburger.
The mountains are Ruwenzori (Rwenzori) and the highest peak is Margherita.

(Some say these are "Mountain of the Moon", which was referred to by Ptolemy.)

I've found this has a very similar view, with different snow line.
