No one really controlled the Saharan Trade route, however there were influential groups. The Bantus are an example. They were a nomadic tribe that traveled across the Sahara in caravans. Merchants would pay these nomads to travel across the desert to drop off goods and bring the money back to them in exchange for money or a different good.
