Homeland

·    The Zaghawan people are spread out between the African countries Chad and Sudan. This area is known as the Sahel. It is located in between Eastern Chad and Western Sudan (including Darfur). 

This area, the Sahel, is an  ecoclimatic and biogeographic zone of transition between the Sahara desert in the North and the Sudanian Savannas in the south. It stretches across the north of the African continent between the Atlantic Ocean and the Nile River. 

During normal years they wait nine dry months for a short rainy season which lasts from late June until late August. Because of this they move their animals north to graze during the dry season, and return south when it rains.

Another shot of the Sahel!
