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.
As a very accomplished geographer, I would say that around 89% of Africa is wilderness, included in that category is South Africa, zimbabua, Sudan, equatorial giunea
