savannah
African grassy plain
A savannah is a flat grassland with scattered trees, found in tropical and subtropical regions where rainfall is seasonal.
The landscape is characteristic of much of Africa, where it supports iconic wildlife like lions and elephants.
The wildebeest migrated across the savannah.
