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!

Narrator Falls Flat
Funny anecdotes but the delivery of the narrator makes it all fall flat. Something about it just sounds stunted, like he's just reading and not actually engaging in the material. This could be so much better with a more enthusiastic narrator that has a sense of comedic timing and emphasis.

Great stories.
There are some lovely, interesting and funny stories in here. It’s a great book. Only downside is the inconsistent fake Australian accent that grates against native ears.

Amazing stories
Amazing stories, told in a very straightforward way but are still gripping. Narration is wooden. But overall I really enjoyed it and it gives great insight into the job of a guide. Fascinating.

Hilarious listen
I enjoyed this book. The humour was great and had me laughing throughout. As a local of Botswana though, there were a few pronunciations of local words & places that were wrong and took me a while to register what the narrator was refering to.
