No they aren't a savanna is a type of tropical grassland where it usually has two warm temperatures year round with two prolonged dry seasons and abundant rain the rest of the year. Most savannas have grasslands with deciduous shrubs and trees. A desert is considered an area where evaporation is less than 25 cm a year( 10 inches) and has sparse widely spread low vegetation.
