As you would know, there isn't much transportation. The only two ways we can go place to place without walking is by using pack animals and using boats in the Niger River. The most used one is the camel because they can stand the heat of the Sahara and go for hours without water. Also, the advantage of having the Niger River is that they can use that to get around. So, if you ever need transportation to a place that you can't walk to in the Sahara call the "camels"! If you need to go up the river just take a boat.
