Thank you, Brendan. I can get on with my day now! And a smug feeling of having completed this correctly (including the dodgy 26 clue). As usual resorting to all legal means of help! Have a great day.
some quibbles
16a "smoothly" as anagram indicator?
1d "not eating" should have "ing" on the end
19d the answer is surely not the safari's destination, just a stopover?
