Publisher's Summary
Whatever You Do, Don't Run is a hilarious collection of true tales from top safari guide Peter Allison. In a place where the wrong behavior could get you eaten, Allison has survived face-to-face encounters with big cats, angry elephants, and the world's most unpredictable animals: herds of untamed tourists and foolhardy guides whose outrageous antics sometimes make them even more dangerous than a pride of hungry lions!
Join Allison as he faces down charging lions (twice); searches for a drunk, half-naked tourist who happens to be a member of the British royal family; drives a Land Rover full of tourists into a lagoon full of hippos; and adopts the most vicious animal in Africa as his "pet". Full of lively humor and a genuine love and respect for Botswana and its rich wildlife, Whatever You Do, Don't Run takes you to where the wild things are and introduces you to a place where every day is a new adventure!

Unfortunate choice
The book was fantastic but why chose an Englishman to put on an Australian accent. Why not use an Australian narrator who won’t overdo the accent? There are a few well spoken Australians, I’ve actually met some.

Nice story, poor narrator
The story was lovely and I could easily visualize the experiences described. The author is skilled and Aldo amusing. I found it very frustrating however that the narrator was very English and couldn't pronounce the African words at all well, paused at inappropriate places and failed to convey the essence of humour in some of the scenes. Overall nice.

Awesome story, satisfactory reading
The book was amazing, loved it but the selection of vocal artist wasn't the greatest. As a reader he was fantastic but being from Africa (and even now living in Australia I wouldn't expect certain pronunciations as was heard in this book, "grass" being the most common but there were several others which made me somewhat disappointed. For any other book I would have given 5/5

Fabulous and funny
Really enjoyed story and narration. Now I really want to go on a safari and visit Africa. What a life well lived. I’m envious of the freedom the author must have felt while living and working in the bush. Great listen.
