A hilarious, highly original collection of essays based on the Botswana truism: only food runs! Allison presents the guides-eye view of living in the bush, confronting the worlds fiercest terrain of wild animals, and managing herds of gaping tourists.

Reviews

"Allison's infectious enthusiasm for both the African bush and his job showing its wonders to tourists is readily apparent." --"Booklist" "His misadventures make "Whatever You Do, Don't Run" an absorbing read. . . . The material is rich, and Allison is a gifted storyteller. And the only thing stranger than African fiction is African truth." --"National Geographic Adventure" "After reading this entrancing memoir, an African safari may move to No. 1 on your travel wish list. The only catch is you'll want the author as your guide." --"Chicago Sun-Times"
