Vachellia oerfota is a species of shrub or tree native to northeastern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Iran.
Vachellia oerfota occurs mainly on alluvial silt soils. It is native to north-eastern Africa from Egypt to Chad and Tanzania, and to the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
It is an important legume tree commonly browsed by goats and camels in Africa. It is valued as a fodder by pastoralists. The leaves and pods are high in calcium, and the leaves are a good source of phosphorus.
