African trip with a female in Indian dress (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

safari

'african trip' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'with a female in indian dress' is the wordplay.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'indian dress' becomes 'sari' (I've seen this in another clue).
'f' going inside 'sari' is 'safri'.
'a' going within 'safri' is 'SAFARI'.

(Other definitions for safari that I've seen before include "Animal expedition" , "Expedition to observe animals" , "Overland journey by hunters" , "African hunting expeiditon" , "Long expedition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
