Trans-Sahelian Belt should be an alternate answer to 'Sahel'.

Technically, it probably should be as it fits the clue, but why are you typing that before trying Sahel, from which that term derives?

Quizmaster should make it tougher by asking for the southern tip, and official dividing point between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans - Cape Agulhas.

There are many synonyms for "savannah", including veldt, grassland, plain, steppe, flatland, and such (Wikipedia). That last question seems just a bit broad, but it may just be me.

The typical one used for Africa is the savannah though.

The description might be broad, but in quiz you'd always look for a more specific answer if available. Steppe/veld/prairie is something different (no trees), grassland and plain are way too general.

yeah you might as well say "outside" is a synonym for savannah. Just because something can be replaced with something else in a sentence does not mean they are the same thing.

(and veldt is basicly just field)

"Site of a wildebeest migration" I read that as "site of a wild beast migration". After a little research I found that wildebeest is an animal which I call gnu. I guessed the right answer anyway.

I missed serengeti because I spelled it serengetti. I guess I was thinking of spaghetti. That might make an interesting fusion dish, though - African-style spaghetti called serenghetti.

For a second there I thought it would be grass spaghetti.

Phew.

I've only ever seen Serengeti used in reference to Tanzania. In Kenya, it's known as the Maasai Mara (with the Mara being the river that is the gift to all those nature shows - and to crocodiles - during the wildebeest migration).

The Maasai Mara reserve is part of the Serengeti.

Therefore "Maasai Mara" should be an acceptable type-in for Serengeti.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Masai Mara is just a national park, but the area itself is called Serengeti. That's why Masai Mara isn't a correct answer since it's only in Kenya but the Serengeti is in both Kenya and Tanzania

I also tried the Mara as that is what we call it in Kenya
