game parks

Safari destination areas

Game parks are large areas of land, typically in Africa, set aside for wildlife conservation and observation.

They preserve natural habitats where animals roam freely, distinguishing them from zoos where animals are confined.

Visitors go on safari to see elephants, lions, and other wildlife: We spent three days at a game park in Kenya.

The "game" refers to wild animals hunted for sport, though most parks now emphasize tourism and conservation over hunting.
