Sahel - Dog breeds list

The Sahel is the ecoclimatic and biogeographic zone of transition, in Africa, between the Sahara desert to the north and the Sudanian Savanna to the south. Having a semi-arid climate, it stretches across the southernmost extent of Northern Africa between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea. The Arabic word literally means “shore, coast”, describing the appearance of the vegetation found in the Sahel as being akin to that coastline delimiting the sand of the Sahara.

The Sahel covers parts of the Gambia, Senegal, southern Mauritania, central Mali, Burkina Faso, southern Algeria and Niger, northern Nigeria and Cameroon, central Chad, southern Sudan, northern Sudan and Eritrea.
