Savanna Chase: animal chase game online free
Savanna Chase is a free, realistic 3D animal chase game you play in your browser. Pick a side. As the prey you run with your herd across the savanna, a pine forest, snowfields, red canyons or flooded wetlands while predators hunt you the way they really do: a lioness waits crouched in the tall grass and charges when you come close, a leopard creeps in and bursts, a wolf pack runs wide to flank you, a brown bear charges out of the trees, an eagle stoops from the sky and crocodiles wait at river crossings. Stay in the herd for safety or break away to score double. Sprint on your stamina, jump logs and rocks, dodge a pounce at the last moment for a slow-motion close call, and use your animal's real trick: the zebra's kick, the wildebeest stampede, the red deer's leap, the wild horse's second wind or the rabbit's burrow. As the predator you hunt with the same tactics: stalk low through the grass and charge, lead a wolf pack with flank and drive calls, or dive as an eagle. Every run ends with a true animal fact. The Daily Chase gives everyone the same run each day with a replay-checked leaderboard, and challenge links let a friend play the other side of your run.
How to play Savanna Chase
- Press RUN to play the prey, or HUNT to play the predator, then pick your animal and where to go.
- Drag left or right to steer (A and D on a keyboard). Hold the lightning button to sprint (W or Shift) and tap it to jump (Space).
- Watch your stamina ring: sprint when a hunter commits, cruise to recover.
- When a predator pounces, flick sideways (Q or E) to dodge it: a close call slows time and scores a combo.
- Use your animal's ability button (F) when it lights up: kick, stampede, leap, second wind or burrow.
- As a predator, stalk while the herd grazes, then break cover close and pounce (Space) when you are in reach.
Controls

Savanna Chase tips and strategy
- Stay inside the herd when a lioness is near: hunters pick the animal that is alone or tired.
- Do not sprint the whole time. Cruise to refill your stamina and sprint when a hunter commits to you.
- Dodge late: a sidestep just as the pounce lands is a close call and doubles up as combo points.
- Zebras: kick when a hunter is right behind you. Wildebeest: stampede when you are in the middle of the herd.
- Rabbits: dive into a burrow mound and pop out of another entrance further ahead.
- Lioness: stay crouched in tall grass until you are within about 15 metres, then charge.
Game modes
- Endless: run (or hunt) as long as you can in any open biome; predators come more often and closer together the further you get (free in Savanna and Forest).
- Chapters: five short runs per biome with a goal each (reach a place, keep 4 of your herd alive, survive a wolf pack, hunt as the lioness); earn up to 3 stars (Savanna chapter free).
- Daily Chase: the same run for everyone today, a replay-checked leaderboard, an emoji share card and your best run as a ghost (free).
- Challenge links: send a run to a friend, who plays the other side: hunt your escape, or escape your hunter (free).
- Live rooms (beta): 2 to 6 players in the same chase, coming once switched on.

Savanna Chase FAQ
Is Savanna Chase free?
Yes. The Savanna and Forest runs, the Savanna chapter, the zebra, wildebeest and red deer, the lioness, the Daily Chase with its leaderboard and challenge links are free, with no ads and no sign-up. Optional one-time packs add biomes, chapters, animals and the full Predator mode.
What do the packs add?
Snow ($1.99): the Snow biome, its chapter and the rabbit. Canyon ($1.99): the Canyon biome and its chapter. Wetlands ($2.99): the Wetlands biome with river crossings, its chapter and the wild horse. Wild Pass ($4.99): everything, including the Forest chapter and hunting as a leopard, a brown bear, a bald eagle or a grey wolf pack. Coat & Trail Pack ($0.99): every coat colour and trail, looks only. A CyberMax Fun Pass or Arcade Lifetime includes all of it.
Is it gory?
No. Savanna Chase is family-friendly: when a predator catches an animal it is knocked down and fades out, with no blood or injuries shown.
Are the animal facts real?
Yes. Each fact after a run is a short, checked statement about the real animal, such as how wildebeest migrate through the Serengeti or why lions are wary of a zebra's kick. Gameplay speeds and abilities are simplified for play.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Everyone plays the same Daily Chase each day with a shared leaderboard, and challenge links let a friend play the other side of your run: hunt your escape or escape your hunter. Live rooms for 2 to 6 players are in testing.
Is the leaderboard fair?
Every posted Daily Chase is re-played on the server from your inputs with the game's own simulation, and only the score it gets itself is accepted. Packs never touch the daily run.
Does Savanna Chase work on phones and Chromebooks?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser on phones, tablets, Chromebooks and PCs, with touch or keyboard controls, and lowers effects (never the animal models) by itself on slower devices to stay smooth.
