DON'T RUN, Whatever You Do

The Okavango Delta, Botswana: 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''. But Peter fell in love with southern Africa and its wildlife and before long 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 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 is a glimpse of what the life of an expert safari guide is really like.
