Bare hills in Kagamba sub county, Rakai District

phyllite, mudstone and shale rock systems. The Karagwe-Ankolean phyllites cover a wide stretch (ridges, and represent the climax of the Kooki hills, presumably due to being more resistant than shale and mudstone. The climax is representative of Katabaluka and Katiarizo hills in Kibanda, which rise to 1,542 m and 1,540 m above sea level, respectively. These bare hills as seen in the image of 1984 are constantly burnt in the dry seasons.
