Although tropical Africa is mostly familiar to the West for its rainforests, this biogeographic realm of Africa is far more diverse. While the tropics are thought of as regions with hot moist climates, which are caused by latitude and the tropical rain belt, the geology of areas, particularly mountain chains, and geographical relation to continental and regional scale winds impact the overall areas, also, making the tropics run from arid to humid in West Africa. The area is currently experiencing the negative effects of rapid human population growth.

  • L’Afrique tropicale comprend les 47 pays dont la majeure partie du territoire est située entre le tropique du Cancer et le tropique du Capricorne. Les six pays du nord de l’Afrique (Maroc, Algérie, Tunisie, Libye, Égypte, Soudan) et les cinq du sud (Afrique du Sud, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibie, Botswana) constituent des régions subtropicales et leurs flores sont bien distinctes (flore de type méditerranéen et flore du Cap). On note une flore d'Oleacées indigènes appartenant à la section Ligustroides. * Afrique tropicale de l'ouest * Afrique tropicale du nord-est * Afrique tropicale du sud (fr)
  • Tropiska Afrika är i strikt mening de delar av Afrika som befinner sig mellan Kräftans och Stenbockens vändkretsar (23,4° nordlig respektive sydlig bredd). Ordet tropisk kommer av franskans ord för vändkrets (tropique). Enligt denna geografiska definition ingår dessa länder i tropiska Afrika, helt eller delvis: Endast fyra afrikanska länder befinner sig i sin helhet utanför det afrikanska tropiska området (Lesotho, Marocko, Swaziland och Tunisien).I vidare bemärkelse kan områden strax utanför vändkretsarna också räknas.
