Extensive volcano with central caldera - Rangwa, the lavas extend far eastwards with the more peripheral lavas of the western flank concealed beneath the waters of Lake Victoria. The volcano is built of gently dipping nephelinitic and melilitic lavas and agglomerates deep erosion of which has revealed a succession over 1000 m thick that rests on a domed Pre-cambrian basement (McCall 1958; Le Bas 1977).

Residual soils have been investigated for apatite, but generally contain < 3%.

Coordinates are given for central caldera Rangwa.
