The location of the African Savanna is between latitude 15° North and 30˚ S and longitude 15˚ W and 40° West. The African Savanna stretches across Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote D'ivore, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Uganda, Senegal, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, and South Africa. It's a thornbush savanna which means it's dotted with plants such as acacia trees, candelabra trees, jackalberry trees, umbrella thorn acacia, whistling thorn, Bermuda grass, baobabs, and elephant grass. A lot of plants developed taproots in order to reach water far down in the ground. Some trees have also developed thick, fire-resistant bark that can store water in its trunk.
People have used this land for cattle grazing, which turns the land into desert. So that they could repair damage, people who live there are creating controlled burning programs so that fires can be prevented, they are creating nature preserves so humans don't ruin the Savanna and they also set up a biosphere preserve in South Africa to preserve the environment. The Savanna is about 5 million square miles, and takes about about 50% of the African Continent.
