I have read both books in this series and enjoyed them immensely. Peter Allison writes about his adventures in a funny, interesting, self-effacing manner that puts the reader bang in the middle of all the action. He has an innate ability to laugh at himself and inject humour into the most deadly of situations. And of course, his love for the animals is paramount. I look forward to reading more from Peter Allison. I loved this author's previous book, Whatever You Do, Don't Run, and I found this one pleasant but without the drive of the first one. More doings in Africa--snakes, elephants, other animals, other disasters, etc. I did find, since I'm researching Africa in general, that the camp he worked at most of the time was one of the most expensive. This is kind of unsettling, as he reveals dangers that the unsuspecting tourists are totally oblivious to.
What do You think about Don't Look Behind You, But ... (2009)?
Funny and bizarre tales of safari. Good prep for Africa. Often made me laugh out loud.

Not quite as good as Whatever You Do, Don't Run but still fun and interesting.
