game reserve
Protected safari territory
A game reserve is a protected area of land where wild animals are conserved and may be hunted under regulated conditions, or where hunting is prohibited entirely.
The term originated in Africa and remains most associated with African wildlife conservation: We went on safari at a private game reserve in Kenya.
Unlike national parks, game reserves may permit controlled hunting or be privately owned.
