Africa is the continent widely recognized for its deserts and vast savannas. The Sahara Desert, the largest hot desert in the world, is located here, along with the Serengeti plains known for their rich wildlife and unique ecosystems. These landscapes support a variety of flora and fauna adapted to the challenging, arid conditions. The savannahs are characterized by grasslands interspersed with trees, providing critical habitats for numerous species. Both deserts and savannas contribute significantly to Africa's biodiversity and are integral to its cultural and ecological identity.
