Reactions:

 
“I’m not a non-fiction reader, but this book kept me hooked. I played it in my car wherever I went, and I’d find myself sitting in parking lots just so I could hear what happened when Peter got charged by a lioness! This is a great listen for driving around doing errands. It’s a series of short, self-contained tales, the verbal equivalent of a safari through Peter Alison’s life as a guide. Very well done!” – D
 


 

“This was a most enjoyable and engaging story. How this gentleman survived and thrived in Africa is told from in a humorous first person narrative that kept me engaged and laughing out loud. He brings Africa to life and tells some amazingly tall tales that made me want to run to the airport and fly there to see it all for myself.” – Kelly
