People chose to settle in West Africa primarily due to its fertile land and access to trade routes, which facilitated the exchange of goods such as gold and salt. In contrast, East Africa attracted settlers because of its diverse ecosystems, coastal access for trade with the Indian Ocean, and the rich resources provided by the region's inland rivers and lakes.
