safari park

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

'attraction' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'drink consuming a distant ship' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'distant' could be 'far' (synonyms) and 'far' is present in the answer.
'drink' could be 'sip' (sipping is a kind of drinking) and 'sip' is found within the leftover letters.
'ship' could be 'ark' (as in Noah's ark) and 'ark' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.
