The southern part of the African continent contains rapids and shallow river point making navigation difficult and the rivers up in the region becomes thin like a stream due to heavy heat during summer.
The middle part of the continent has various waterfalls along the way due to million year’s tectonic shift in the plain of the African Continent Region making water navigation extremely dangerous. Hence, water navigation is Africa is absent.

What makes Africa a difficult place to live in?
It is a huge continent, with a wide variety of countries and geographic conditions. Some parts are difficult to live in. A lot of the northern part of Africa is the Sahara Desert, the world's largest desert. So there is little there to survive on. It is the same in some of the other deserts in Africa. A lot of Africa is jungle, which can be difficult to live in too. There are a lot of open plains in Africa, where not a lot can grow. It is important to mention that a lot of Africa is not difficult to live in. Many parts are well developed, with large cities and good living conditions or good ground to grow crops in and with weather that is not difficult to live in. There is poverty in some of those parts, much as there is in any part of the world, but there are a lot of people living very good lives.
