Terrain
Most of Ziwa sits at the center of the East Africa's Western Plateau, which is mostly savanah extending south of Lake Victoria. The Eastern Highlands make up Ziwa's eastern border with Amari and is home to the Olduvai Gorge and Ngorogoro Crater, historical anthropological and wildlife sites. The border lakes, Eayasi and Natron, form the southern portion of East Africa's Eastern Rift Valley, extending northward through Amari and into Nyumba's Lake Turkana.
