Nakawa Division

[2] Neighborhoods in the division include Bugoloobi, Bukoto, Butabika, Kiswa, Kiwaatule, Kyambogo, Kyanja, Luzira, Mbuya, Mutungo, Nabisunsa, Naguru, Nakawa, and Ntinda.

[4] The topography of the division is characterized by flat-topped hills of uniform height divided by shallow valleys forming papyrus swamps.

Owing to alluvial aggregation, low gradient, and frequent local silting, many valley floors have become seasonal or permanent swamps.

It consists of a variety of metamorphic largely granitoid rocks, acid gneisses, schists and sand stones.

The vegetation of the hills, which was originally shrubs and forests, has been modified to a greater extent as a result of clearing to give way for settlement (high income residential neighborhoods on the hills) and the papyrus swamps have been encroached on, in the valleys, by illegal developers.
