The Sahel (/sÉËhÉl/) 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 south-central latitudes of Northern Africa between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea.
The Sahelian kingdoms were a series of medieval empires centred on the West African sahel, the area of grasslands south of the Sahara. 1  The first major state to rise in this region was the Kingdom of Ghana.
