A great distance covered by safari? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afar

'a great distance' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'covered by safari?' is the wordplay.
'covered by' indicates a hidden word.
'AFAR' is hidden within 'safari'.

(Other definitions for afar that I've seen before include "Many a mile" , "a good way off" , "Way-out" , "Pull out at a distance" , "Many miles away" .)
