game viewing

Watching African animals

Game viewing is the activity of observing wild animals in their natural habitat, typically in African savannas or other wildlife reserves.

The term uses "game" in its sense of wild animals hunted for sport, though game viewing itself is non-consumptive—you watch rather than shoot.

It's the primary draw of safari tourism, where visitors travel through parks hoping to spot lions, elephants, and other large mammals.

We went on an early morning game viewing drive to catch the animals at their most active.
