Desert dwelling peoples in Africa are not homogenous. They engage in a variety of economic activities that relate to their environment. Many groups in the Sahara desert region are engaged in long distance trading, herding of camels, sheep, and goats, and some fruit cultivation at oases. In the southern African deserts, Namib and Kalahari, most desert dwellers are hunters and gatherers. However, most desert dwellers are nomadic and live in small groups.
