In Africa, there are different climatic regions, different vegetation zones and different relief features.
Large percentages of people in Africa lived in the grasslands and semi-desert areas, where they were mainly pastoralists and nomads.
For those who lived around lakes and rivers, fishing was common, and they had a more settled lifestyle.
Keep in mind that African people had different communities, which all had different lifestyles, although this deals more with history than geography.
