I just read Peter Allison’s book Whatever You Do, Don’t Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide, and greatly enjoyed it. The stories of Allison’s days as an African safari guide are often funny, sometimes touching, and always interesting about the wildlife of southern Africa.
It’s a fun, breezy read, and for people who are interested in wildlife, or who dream of someday going to Africa on safari, I highly recommend it.
We can attest. We read this book before our safari to Botswana through Rothschild (http://www.rothschildsafaris.com/countries/botswana/). Like you say, it’s just such a great read but also helped us establish some rules that are different from our own in the US.
