Incredible true tales from a world-renowned safari guide and
celebrated author Romantic notions aside, being a safari guide
isn't always particularly enjoyable or glamorous. Quite often it is
beset with challenges, like having to spend a night in a thorn tree
with marauding hyenas below. But safari guide Peter Allison lives
for such moments. Here, the author of the widely praised Whatever
You Do, Don't Run details his time spent in safari camps not only
in Botswana but also in South Africa, Mozambique, and
Namibia-places he loves, despite how much it feels like they might
just be trying to kill him. In Don't Look Behind You, Allison
recounts adventures few would live to tell. Like the time he and a
group of bored guides launched a makeshift raft into a foaming,
flooded river teeming with hippos and crocodiles. Or the afternoon
he heard monkeys telling him that a leopard was walking around the
camp, and then realized the leopard was in his tent, with him in
it. In addition to relating his encounters with animals, Allison
shares the stories of those tourists who have long been pushing him
toward early retirement. Normally respectful of all his fellow
creatures no matter how many feet they have, Allison fantasizes
about leaving one in particular behind on the Skeleton Coast, a
place that receives less than half an inch of rain a year, and is
patrolled by lions and hyenas. Join Peter Allison for another
riveting, rollicking, behind-the-scenes dose of everyone's dream
experience-going on safari-and come through amazed but, thankfully,
without a scratch.
