Can barely see safari from this distance (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afar

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

'this distance' is the definition.
(I have seen 'great distance' mean 'afar' so perhaps 'distance' could also mean 'afar')

'can barely see safari' is the wordplay.
'AFAR' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afar that I've seen before include "A long distance away" , "long way back" , "Pull out at a distance" , "quite some distance" , "Many miles away" .)
