Gwisho hot-springs is in a shallow fault-determined valley with large amounts of alluvia and sand deposits, they’re located 977 m (3,205 ft) above sea-level.

11.3 km (7.0 mi) south of the river, the ground rises slightly and the topography is less monotonous.

4.8 km (3.0 mi) from the southern boundary of Lochnivar: older rocks created from the alluvial deposits and a higher plateau surface with low hills.

The sterile zones of Gwisho are sealed by a horizon of dark grey, heavy soil with lenses of grey-brown deposit.

Soil samples collected from the site consists mostly of quartz sand grains with angular profiles, most likely of alluvial origin.

Matopo Hill sites have yield samples that revealed how long hunter-gatherers lived in the area.

The lower Wilton at Amadzimba cave gave a reading of 2250 BCE, however the Pomongwe Late Stone Age dates show earlier activity.

Remains were found that seems to have been a hut or windbreak as well as sticks and twigs and a mass of grass lay in a flattened heap.

Tiny fragments of fired clay excavated from the site may have been used for windbreaks to smear huts and other structures.

The remains belong to buffalo, lechwe, wildebeest, impala, buchduck, kudu, eland, oribi roan, hartebeest, grysbuck, duiker, zebra, warthog, bushpig, elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, monkey, baboon, birds, tortoise.

At the Gwisho site of Kafue Flats, more than thirty burials were found and skeletons showed Khoisan features.
