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

'africa?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'pack of lions a far image touring' is the wordplay.
'pack of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'packing' mean this).
'ON SAFARI' is hidden within 'lions a far image touring'.
