Search in boggy place somewhere in Africa (9)

I believe the answer is:

marrakesh

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

'place somewhere in africa' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'search in boggy' is the wordplay.
'search' becomes 'rake' (I've seen this before).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'boggy' becomes 'marsh' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'rake' going within 'marsh' is 'MARRAKESH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for marrakesh that I've seen before include "city in Africa" , "African city" , "in North Africa" , "city abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
