In the savanna regions, particularly in West Africa, several empires flourished, notably the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire, and the Songhai Empire. These empires grew wealthy through trade in gold, salt, and other goods, leveraging their strategic positions along trans-Saharan trade routes. The Mali Empire, under leaders like Mansa Musa, became renowned for its wealth and cultural achievements, while the Songhai Empire expanded further, becoming one of the largest Islamic empires in history. Each empire contributed significantly to the spread of Islam and facilitated cultural exchanges across Africa.
