The Sahel is a semi-arid region located just south of the Sahara Desert, characterized by a mix of grasslands, shrubs, and occasional trees. It serves as a transitional zone between the desert and the more fertile savanna regions further south. In contrast, the savanna is a grassland ecosystem that typically features scattered trees and experiences distinct wet and dry seasons, supporting a diverse range of wildlife and vegetation. While both regions share some similarities, the Sahel is drier and has a shorter growing season compared to the more lush and productive savanna.
Between the Sahara Desert and the northern edge of the savanna is the Sahel. The Sahel is an arid grassland. However, overgrazing is converting the Sahel into desert.
The Sahel Region.
The savanna is a grassy plain with scattered trees, while the Sahel is a semiarid region between the Sahara Desert and the savanna. The Sahel is drier than the savanna and experiences more frequent droughts.
Similarity: Both the Sahel and the Savanna are semi-arid regions characterized by grasslands and scattered trees. Difference: The Sahel is located just south of the Sahara Desert in Africa, while the Savanna is a tropical grassland biome typically found in regions with more rainfall and closer to the equator.

Yes, the desert is encroaching on the Sahel which is a transition zone between the Sahara and the savanna.
because the savanna was far from the desert and it had rivers

A similarity between a Sahel and the savannah is it gets rainfall :)
The Sahel is the savanna (grassland) area south of the Sahara Desert in Africa.
