Simplified climatic map of Africa: Sub-Saharan Africa consists of the arid Sahel and the Horn of Africa in the north (yellow), the tropical savannas (light green) and the tropical rainforests (dark green) of Equatorial Africa, and the arid Kalahari Basin (yellow) and the "mediterranean" south coast (olive) of Southern Africa. The numbers shown correspond to the dates of iron artefacts associated with the Bantu expansion. | | Sahel | Horn of Africa | tropical savannas | tropical rainforests | Equatorial Africa | Kalahari Basin | mediterranean | Southern Africa | iron | Bantu expansion | African | Sahara | African countries | North Africa | Arab world | Sahel | Sahara | tropical savanna | Sûdân region | forest-savanna mosaic | Horn of Africa | Sudan | Middle Eastern | black | bilâd as-sûdân | Nile River | Sahara Pump Theory | flora | fauna | Homo sapiens | Africa | Middle East | Europe | Asia | pluvial | Sahara | Afrotropic ecozone | Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands | List of tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests ecoregions | Climate zones of Africa, showing the ecological break between the desert climate of the Sahara and the Horn of Africa (red), the semi-arid Sahel (orange) and the tropical climate of Central and Western Africa (blue).
