Summary
This hilarious and highly original collection of essays is based on the Botswana truism: “Only food runs!” With fresh material and a new introduction, Peter Allison shares lively and witty tales from his life as a top safari guide in the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta.

Allison’s stories offer a guide’s-eye view of surviving the wildest terrain, handling fierce animals, and managing unpredictable tourists—sometimes more dangerous than the lions themselves. From a fashion-conscious tourist in hot pink to a half-naked, drunken British royal, Allison’s adventures are outrageously true and full of humor.

Passionate about the Kalahari’s animals, Allison balances his love and respect for wildlife with a good-natured scorn for his own misadventures. One standout story reveals his encounter with a hunting lioness lurking nearby—showcasing the real dangers of his job.

Peter Allison’s safaris have been featured in National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveler, and TV shows, making this memoir a witty, thrilling, and heartfelt look at life in the wild.
