Satisfactory, apparently, to have one African animal (5)
I believe the answer is:
okapi
'african animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'satisfactory apparently to have one' is the wordplay.
'satisfactory' becomes 'ok' (similar in meaning).
'apparently' becomes 'ap' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to have' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'ok'+'ap'+'i'='OKAPI'
(Other definitions for okapi that I've seen before include "African ruminant" , "Beast related to giraffe" , "Horned ruminant" , "rainforest ruminant" , "Central Afr. ruminant" .)
