Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales Of A… door Peter Allison
Nice set of stories about being a safari guide in Africa. I wish there were more photos.
Peter Allison was a former long-time African safari guide who despised his desk job. So he decided he needed to travel and admire wildlife in South America. First stop was to spend a month volunteering on an animal reserve. He chose to help tend Roy the puma. Sold as a cub, Roy’d never be rewilded so to help keep him as wild as possible, a volunteer ropes himself to Roy and gives him the run of the jungle. It’s absolutely brutal and he became Roy’s chew toy. Then he spends months on many adventures in different countries. The last was living with an Amazon tribe thick in the jungle for 3 weeks.

Mildly interesting about wild life and travel in the Okavango delta and elsewhere but the writer - the guide - is kind of a pussy all caught up in his feelings and his politically correct yammering about the locals and his hatred of firearms and other uncool stuff - among white males manliness is a thing of the past replaced by the placid acceptance of dominance by groups who gleefully continue to compete - woe is us. Three-quarters of the way through I put it down and turned to something more exciting.… (meer)
