Vessel from Kenya or Tanzania (5)

I believe the answer is:

aorta

'vessel' is the definition.
(aorta is a kind of vessel)

'from kenya or tanzania' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'AORTA' is hidden in the letters of 'kenya or tanzania'.

(Other definitions for aorta that I've seen before include "vital transporter" , "Blood carrier" , "Major artery of the body" , "Main human artery" , "Large artery of the heart" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
