Causes:


The reasons for the Bantu migrations are unknown to many, but they most likely include these listed below:

Drying up of the Sahara grasslands which led groups that practiced agriculture to migrate in search of new fertile land and water for farming.(Drought and Famine)

An increase in population which resulted in pressures causing others to migrate in search for new land.

The constant attacks from stronger neighboring tribes in West Africa and the Nile valley and the external pressures such as the migration of the Arabs into West Africa.

Rulers wanted to expand their kingdoms, and gain more power and control.

Tribal wars caused defeated tribes to run away from powerful ones for safety.

The Bantu people wanted to expand their iron-working culture. They had discovered the knowledge of iron working and had invented iron tools which transformed agriculture by making the clearing of land faster and more efficient.
