"I loved this book. I thought it was funny, very well written, and truly caught each moment.
The book is written in chapters that each relate a different event that happened. Many of the events involved large beasts found on the African outback. There were some funny stories, as well as some serious stories. Each one left me wishing I were there experiencing it all.
Aside from being incredibly interesting, the writing was superb. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that dreams of seeing a lion or elephant in nature."
"This book made me want to go to Africa and be a safari guide. The author had so many amazing experiences. It's not the best-written or most literary book I've ever read, but it's a very satisfying memoir. It was a really great adventure."
"Don't run, cuz food runs! I LOVED this book, and hated to see the last page come. Nichole, you will love this book. I wish it wasn't so hot in Botswana. I would love to see the Olduvi gorge."
"A fun collection of vignettes by an Aussie safari guide in Africa. About the animals he meets and the people that go with them in the bush. Written without pretense or ego, these are effortless to read and are great examples of memoir with a small i."
