Title: Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide
Author: Peter Allison
Publisher: Lyons Press
Year: 2007
Country: Botswana
246 pages

An enjoyable account of being a safari guide in Botswana. This is a series of anecdotes, and not particularly a psychological narrative--that is, there is no particular moral or developmental outcome. I enjoyed it for the descriptions of animal and tourist behavior. I'll still read something by Bessie Head to get a better sense of the people of Botswana.
