Tiger seen wandering – but certainly not here (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serengeti

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

'certainly not here' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'tiger seen wandering' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates an anagram.
'tiger'+'seen'='tigerseen'
'tigerseen' with letters rearranged gives 'SERENGETI'.

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for serengeti that I've seen before include "African ecosystem" , "area of the plain" , "Vast plain" , "Afr. plain; green site (anag.)" , "Tiger seen in Tanzania's great National Park" .)
