game reserves

Protected animal territories

Game reserves are large areas of land set aside for wildlife conservation and protection, where hunting is either prohibited or strictly regulated.

Unlike national parks, many game reserves permit controlled hunting under license.

The term is especially common in African contexts: We visited several game reserves in Kenya.

Game reserves serve as habitats for endangered species and destinations for safari tourism.
