The African Expanse is a term used to describe the vast area of land in Africa, which includes the SAHARA desert and the Veltd. The SAHARA is the world's largest hot desert, covering much of North Africa and stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. The Veltd is a grassland plain located in Southern Africa, stretching from Angola to South Africa. Together, these two regions form the African Expanse, a region of immense cultural and ecological diversity.
