Weird hole surrounding lush country (7)
I believe the answer is:
lesotho
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Lesotho is African country)
'weird hole surrounding lush' is the wordplay.
'weird' is an anagram indicator.
'surrounding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lush' becomes 'sot' (both can mean a drunk).
'hole' anagrammed gives 'leho'.
'leho' going around 'sot' is 'LESOTHO'.
(Other definitions for lesotho that I've seen before include "South African kingdom" , "Landlocked country in southern Africa" , "Maseru is this Kingdom's capital" , "Southern African country, capital Maseru" , "African territory" .)
