A safe district is a legislative district in which the likely voters support one political party or the other by an overwhelmingly large margin. For example, liberal Democrat Nancy Pelosi represents a safe district of overwhelmingly Democratic voters in the San Francisco area, making it very unlikely that she would lose an election in 'her' area.
