Collection: Book Recommendations - April 2024 - Peter Allison Safari Guide

This month's booklist comes from Peter Allison, a writer whose books have focused on his time as an African safari guide, as well as his time in South America. He currently resides in the United Kingdom (he refuses to say he lives there, because it is impossible to feel alive in England) with his wife Pru, and their three children.

He works for Natural Selection as a roaming marketer and safari guide for private groups. Peter hosts a less than serious podcast about animals and conservation called Deep In The Bush, a production of the Be The Uproar network.

Allison grew up in Sydney but at the age of 16 won a scholarship for study in Japan. At 19 he travelled to Africa and became a bartender and eventually a guide. His books have been compared to campfire tales relating stories of silly antics or perilous situations. Whatever You Do, Don't Run achieved best seller status.
