In Africa, the tropical grasslands are called 'Savanna'.
- found between a tropical rainforest and desert
- on either side of the equator
- have a wet and dry season - when the savanna above the equator is having the rainy season (summer) the one below the equator is having the dry season (winter) and visa-versa
Grasslands and Savannas
- the East African savannas
- the Serengeti Plains
- the Sahelian Acacia Savanna
- the Sahel Belt - but it is a pretty scrubby grassland as it borders up to the Sahara Desert (steppe grassland
- African Veld(t) - a plateau region in southern Africa - is divided into the High Veldt, Middle Veldt and the Bush Veldt
map showing grasslands and savannas in Africa - steppe (Steppe biome is usually found between the desert and the forest - if it got more rain, it would become a forest - if less rain a desert)
