Turns up Rafa's initial insight is attractive to holidaymakers following game (6)

I believe the answer is:

safari

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

'attractive to holidaymakers following game' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'turns up rafa's initial insight' is the wordplay.
'turns up' is a reversal indicator.
'initial' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'insight' is 'i'.
'rafas' written backwards gives 'safar'.
'safar'+'i'='SAFARI'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for safari that I've seen before include "tropical trip" , "A journey to see or hunt wild animals" , "Trip to see wild animals" , "Overland journey to look for wild animals" , "North African capital" .)
