A long way off from the safari centre (4)

I believe the answer is:

afar

'a long way off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from the safari centre' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AFAR' is hidden in the letters of 'safari centre'.

(Other definitions for afar that I've seen before include "beyond the horizon" , "A long way away" , "Pull out at a distance" , "Way-out" , "Unusually distant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
