Reasons why Nomadic pastoralism is usually not productive

•    Scarcity of water especially during seasons.  There is water in wet seasons but dry seasons comes pastrolists have to move to different places to get water.
•    Poor pastures: The low and reliable rainfall leads to poor pasture. The grass grows fast during the wet season but when rain stops, grass dries and less nutritious for animals.
•    The high temperatures in the area make it impossible for animals to do well.  In some places only camels and goats are kept.
•    The soil is unfertile.
•    There are pests and diseases.  The tsetse fly is a major problem.  This has affected the quality of the animals.
Nomadic Pastoralism is a subsistence form of animal keeping where farmers move with animals from one place to another in search for good pasture and water.
