A short day for accountant going around Serengeti (6)

I believe the answer is:

africa

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

'going around serengeti' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a short day for accountant' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'day' becomes 'fri'.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'accountant' becomes 'ca' (abbreviation for chartered accountant).
'an' with its final letter taken off is 'a'.
'a'+'fri'+'ca'='AFRICA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for africa that I've seen before include "RAF and CIA strangely together on the continent" , "Continent in the Southern hemisphere" , "Burn; fish" , "Location of 14 downb" , "If a car could go to this continent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
