West Africa comprises nations such as Senegal, Mauritania, Gambia, Mali, Guinea, and Nigeria. This region acts as a transitional zone, both geographically and culturally, covering an area of approximately 6.38 million square kilometers, which is about one-fifth of the continent's total landmass. The climate in West Africa shifts from a tropical desert climate in the north to a tropical savanna climate in the central region, and ultimately to a tropical rainforest climate in the south. This unique latitudinal climatic zonation contributes to the region's rich and diverse natural landscape. West Africa is celebrated as one of the most culturally diverse parts of the world, known for its lively music, dance, and art.
