The Savannah Walk Trail is a well-formed flat trail that is suitable for most people with a reasonable level of fitness. While most visitors head straight for the gorge, it’s worth doing this trail to get insight to the unique savannah habitat. Tall grasses, big termite mounds, boab trees and the imposing Napier Range backdrop dominates the landscape. For nature lovers there is an abundance of birdlife along the trail, especially early morning or late afternoon. Expect to see grass seed eating finches and parrots as well as gliding birds of prey rising on thermals. Agile Wallabies are often seen and reptiles such as goannas and snakes sometimes cross the path.
