Wild tiger seen in game reserve (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serengeti

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'game reserve' is the definition.
'serengeti' can be an answer for 'reserve' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'game' bit.

'wild tiger seen' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'tiger'+'seen'='tigerseen'
'tigerseen' with letters rearranged gives 'SERENGETI'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for serengeti that I've seen before include "African ecosystem" , "Huge plain in Tanzania" , "Afr. plain; green site (anag.)" , "area of the plain" , "Tanzanian national park area" .)
