While I haven't been on safari, I'm guessing that this book should be required reading for anyone who is able to make the trip. Peter Allison's book was a nice, quick read filled with lots of great stories about his experiences. All in all, I would recommend this book highly. Several stories made me laugh out loud.
Enjoy.

Mr. Allison's, WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T RUN is filled with hilariously funny sometimes irreverent stories about his experiences as a safari guide in Botswana. The title is what drew me to his book, only food runs! You can't put it down, it is laugh out loud funny and you don't want it to end. Please write more! I can't wait for your next installment.

I was a bit hesitant about this book at first because of the very different style. Not in-your-face, nor condescending, not pretensious. Peter Allison is very funny and refreshingly self effacing. Humble, to use an old fashioned word.
But it was the adventure, the outrageous tourists, and the really unexpected turns of events that had me up way past midnight on a working day. So I was a bit out of it with clients. It was worth it!
Superb!
I want more!!!!!!!!!!!!!! November 10, 2007

I really didn't want this book to end! And I would love to read more!!! As a past visitor to Botswana, this collection of stories gave a delightful look at the behind the scenes, everyday life of the folks who make tourist visits so delightful! Kudos to the author....it's light, fun reading and I want more!!!!
Whatever You Do, Don't Run book review April 17, 2008

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, "Whatever You Do, Don't Run". I have been to Africa numerous times on safari and the stories told by this guide were all too real, in a wonderful sort of way. Each page took me back to being on safari and allowed me to reminisce about those wonderful adventures. They gave me insight into what occurs behind the scenes for the guides and the staff at the camps and let me relive those precious memories. Parts of the book are truly funny while parts express the inherent dangers involved in such a journey. I loved this book and for those who have been fortunate enough to have gone on safari in Africa, they will enjoy it immensely.
