The African savanna is a vast grassland ecosystem covering much of the continent, particularly in countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa. Characterized by a mix of grasses and scattered trees, the savanna is home to iconic wildlife such as lions, elephants and giraffes. Seasonal rainfall patterns influence the vegetation and animal migrations. Grass fires are common during the dry season, shaping the landscape and promoting new growth. The savanna supports diverse ecosystems, from open plains to riverine forests, and is vital for local communities and wildlife conservation.
