Savannization and de-savannization are two land cover transition processes that are yet to be understood at a local scale in sub-Saharan Africa. We studied the patterns across different ecological, anthropogenic and climatic factors to infer the trends of savannization and de-savannization in Old Oyo National Park, Nigeria. Geospatial technology and two machine learning methods were used to determine the pattern, dynamics, and importance of savannization and de-savannization with a set of thirteen eco-climatic variables. The savannized areas with total land cover masses of 934.27 km 2  in 1986–2003 decreased to 901.01 km 2  in 2003–2019, and vice versa for de-savannized areas. The thirteen eco-climatic variables contributed to savannization and de-savannization within the two transition intervals in varying degrees. Relevant stakeholders should employ mild burn severity to manage savannization at locations close to host communities, rivers, and roads within elevations above 450 m and low rainfall in the dry season below 6 mm.
