Expedition from South Africa to remote India (6)
I believe the answer is:
safari
'expedition' is the definition.
(I know that safari is a type of expedition)
'south africa to remote india' is the wordplay.
'south africa' becomes 'SA' (abbreviation).
'to remote' becomes 'far' (similar in meaning).
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'sa'+'far'+'i'='SAFARI'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for safari that I've seen before include "Hunting journey" , "[PARK] trip" , "Trip to see wild animals" , "A journey to see or hunt wild animals" , "African wildlife trip" .)
