Why read it?
1 author picked Whatever You Do, Don't Run as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I know Peter – we josh each other and trade funny insults on social media. I hate to say it, but he is a very funny guy. Safari guide memoirs are a dime a dozen in Africa, but this one stands out from the pack because it is both humorous and moving.

Peter loves Botswana, and his passion shines through in this book.
From Tony's list on to read on an African safari.
