African savannah

Lion's roaming territory

African savannah refers to the vast tropical grasslands of Africa, characterized by scattered trees, seasonal rainfall, and distinctive wildlife including lions, elephants, zebras, and giraffes.

The landscape features open plains with grasses that grow tall in wet seasons and dry out in drought periods.

The documentary captured wildebeest migration across the African savannah.

Often romanticized in Western imagination as quintessential "wild Africa."
