Zonno-Zori (locally also Zonzori) is a range of hills east of Zuarungu near the communities of Zonno and Nyorkoko. It comprised four main hills and a few small foothills. None of these hills are named. The maximum height of the ridge is 348 meters above sea level. Zori is Frafra and can be translated as mountain or mountain range.
