L. Tyger: I went to Botswana on my first safari and bought this book to get an idea of what it would be like. The author paints a great picture of what it's like to stay in the Okavango Delta, which is still my favorite place to experience safari in Africa! The book is engaging, humorous and informative ... so much so that I've given the book as gifts to several clients that I planned trips for to Botswana. It's a great read.

Marsha: Having been to Africa twice and on game drives, I felt this book rang true, even if the author was more than occasionally foolish.

Paul: Peter Allison takes you on a whistle stop tour of his time in Africa. His stories come from the heart, he obviously fell in love with the continent, it's wildlife and it's people. I also found myself in South Africa in 1976 as a 19 year old, arriving at jansmuts airport wondering where all the lions and elephants were.
Having been away from Africa for many a year now, I found this book a delightful read not to heavy and just enough provanonc to give it credibility.
A most enjoyable read.
