Kiponguve

Kiponguve lies among the uplands west of Lake Tanganyika, in the country between the Kabobo massif and the Luama basin. Montane grassland and forest cover the heights, while woodland grows below the escarpment. The Kiyimbi flows west to join the Luama, carrying gravels eroded from the uplifted rocks of the Tanganyika rift shoulder; some of these deposits contain gold.
