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!
“Drivers May Laugh Too Hard to Drive!”

Where does Whatever You Do, Don’t Run rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I’ve listened to hundreds! This ranks as about an 8.5.

What other book might you compare Whatever You Do, Don’t Run to and why?

I don’t read non-fiction, but I’d rename this: Adventures of Han Solo on Safari

Which character – as performed by Antony Ferguson – was your favorite?

Peter Alison…I’d love to have him as a guide. He’s funny!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The birth of the baby elephant actually brought tears to my eyes. He did such a good job describing the incredible beauty of that moment

Any additional comments?

I’m not a non-fiction reader, but this book kept me hooked. I played it in my car wherever I went, and I’d find myself sitting in parking lots just so I could hear what happened when Peter got charged by a lioness! This is a great listen for driving around doing errands. It’s a series of short, self-contained tales, the verbal equivalent of a safari through Peter Alison’s life as a guide. Very well done!
“I loved the book and the audio is great too!”

What made the experience of listening to Whatever You Do, Don’t Run the most enjoyable?

This was a most enjoyable and engaging story. How this gentleman survived and thrived in Africa is told from in a humorous first person narrative that kept me engaged and laughing out loud. He brings Africa to life and tells some amazingly tall tales that made me want to run to the airport and fly there to see it all for myself.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Whatever you do, don’t run is the title, but also perfect for this story.
“A Worthy Read”

Where does Whatever You Do, Don’t Run rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the best I’ve rented to date.

What did you like best about this story?

I love true adventure and this was the genre at its best–excitement and humor with some touching moments thrown in. You can’t beat it.

What about Antony Ferguson’s performance did you like?

The reader was excellent and had a charming Aussie accent.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

In one vignette the author relates an experience where he chanced getting closer to an elephant herd than he should have. Later he relates watching the birth in the wild of an elephant out of this same herd. These interactions were exciting and moving.

Any additional comments?

Well done and bravo.
“I am inspired to go on safari”

The author was just an average guy with a love for animals that moved from Australia to Africa for a backpacking trip and ended up staying for seven years.The stories of his encounters with lions,elephants,leopards,and birds were captivating.He spoke in a very relaxed cadence,which made it easy to follow.The stories about Rolls Royce the funny guide from Botswana,as well as the stories about the drowning and the vehicle breakdown on the way to South Africa were equally fascinating. The story about the lazy worker who discovered a snake that was longer than at first thought was another great story.You could at times feel the author’s fear,stupidity and wonder.You could feel his pain,elation and basically take a very educational armchair safari.This has to be one of the best audiobooks I have heard recently.It was entertaining and educational.My only regret was it was too short.
