DON'T RUN, Whatever You Do

The Okavango Delta, Botswana, is a lush wetland in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. Aged 19, Peter Allison thought he would visit for a short holiday before going home to get a proper job. However, Peter fell in love with southern Africa and its wildlife, and before long, he had risen to become a top safari guide. In "Don't Run, Whatever You Do," you'll hear outrageous but true tales from the most exciting safaris. You'll find out when an elephant is really going to charge, what different monkey calls mean, and what to do in a face-off with lions. Sometimes the tourists are even wilder than the animals, from the half-naked missing member of the British royal family to the Japanese amateur photographer who ignores all the rules to get the perfect shot. "Don't Run, Whatever You Do" offers a glimpse into what the life of an expert safari guide is really like.
