The Sahel savanna is a transitional ecological zone located between the Sahara Desert to the north and the more humid savanna regions to the south, primarily in West and Central Africa. Characterized by a mix of grasslands, sparse trees, and shrubs, the Sahel experiences a semi-arid climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. This region is vital for pastoralism and agriculture, supporting various communities that rely on its resources despite challenges like desertification and climate change. The Sahel savanna plays a crucial role in biodiversity and serves as a habitat for numerous plant and animal species.
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.

Yes, the desert is encroaching on the Sahel which is a transition zone between the Sahara and the savanna.

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