A journey, some say, to a wild part of Africa (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

safari

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

'a journey' is the definition.
(I know that safari is a type of expedition)

'some say to a wild part of africa' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
'part' could be 'fa' (fa is a kind of part) and 'fa' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sri' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for safari that I've seen before include "[PARK] trip" , "Long expedition" , "A journey to see or hunt wild animals" , "Big game trip" , "African hunting expedition" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
