The Ndali-Kasenda Volcanic Field (also known as Kwatya) is located in the Western Rift Valley, N of the equator and E of the Ruwenzori Mountains about halfway between Lake Edward and Lake Albert. The numerous tuff cones and lake-filled maars are part of a group of Quaternary volcanic fields in western Uganda. Leaf fragments obtained from basal sediments cored from Lake Kifuruka were radiocarbon dated to 11,560 cal BP (9610 BCE) (Kiage et al., 2020). No eruption dates are known.
