- The Sahel is a semi-arid region that lies south of the Sahara Desert in Africa. It is characterized by a mix of grassland and desert, with a dry climate and low rainfall.
- The savanna, on the other hand, is a tropical grassland ecosystem that is found in Africa, South America, and Australia. It is characterized by a mix of grasses, trees, and shrubs, with a wet and dry season.
Both the Sahel and the savanna support a variety of wildlife, including large mammals such as elephants, lions, and giraffes. The vegetation of both regions is adapted to the dry climate, and includes drought-resistant plants such as Acacia trees.
