The tree, along with being covering in thorns and able to secret poisons, is completely hollow and filled with 4 different species of fighting ants. These ants live within the tree providing protection for the tree from other insects and smaller animals while the tree protects the ants from larger predator which are fended off by the thorns and leaves.

5.  This destination is hottest from March to June, and is found with blooming flora and exceptional dry weather.

6.  The IWDP (integrated watershed development program has created trenches and bunds across the savanna, which destroys the plant community and exposes the topsoil to erosion. Canals and dams are also being created. This fragments the vegetated areas and ruins the grassland’s connectivity  Mining is destroying the landscape, and can take hundreds of years to recover from  Poaching has a direct correlation to the incredible number of endangered species in the Tropical Savanna. Unless stopped, you can say goodbye to the many of our most beloved species BEWARE NEXT PICTURE IS A GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF THE EFFECTS OF POACHING To skip image press here Climate of the areaClimate of the area

The wet season lasts from November until April, and may be for you if you want to be a part of the action with thunderstorms providing for magnificent views of the savannah. The Dry season is May through October where there’s South-East winds that bring little rain, and warm days with refreshingly cool nights. Have adventures during the day, and the settle down and relax by the fire in the night. There’s something for everyone to enjoy in the tropical savannah.

10.  The savannah is dense with grasslands, and spotted with lanky trees, the famous ones being the thorny ant fortress of the acacia tree and the tall stocky baobab.The tropical savannah extends through Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, Southern Brazil, India, Australia, and the Everglades. These areas are actually low in biodiversity and usually one grass or tree species will be omnipresent in that area. These areas are prone to yearly fires, and many of the plants have actually adapted to be fire resistant, such as the acacia which has vast root systems allowing for resprout in case of fire damage. Or, to avoid being deprived of water, trees such as the baobab tree have adapted to store water within their trunks, which only large animals such as the African elephant can access by sheer strength, or within vast root systems underground.
