The mountain consists of two granite inselbergs, separated by a narrow valley approximately 3km wide. The eastern inselberg is called Mount M’pàluwé.[1]
The lower slopes are mostly cultivated. Dry miombo woodland can be found on the middle slopes, and in the valley between the east and west peaks. The highest peaks are mostly bare granite, with pockets of montane heathland. The mountain has no year-round streams, but several intermittent streams run during the wet season.[2]
