Percentage of Africa That Is Desert The Sahara Desert covers about one-third of Africa, so about 33 to 34 percent of Africa is desert. Though many believe most of Africa is desert and/or rainforest, or jungle, the largest vegetative zone in Africa is tropical grassland.

Clarification:

There are two additional deserts in Africa - the Kalahari and the Namib. Total desert land covers over 40% of Africa.
