that kills too many horses. It is too expensive to replace them, so you are
carried by human porters and river boats instead.

The Berbers have to use camels, the only pack animal that can cross the Sahara
Fun Fact!! Before 300 A.D. camels were not domesticated and there was little or no trade across the Sahara!“I feel so domesticated . . .”
