It shouldn't be fun to be chased by an animal that outweighs you by a factor of seventy, but Peter Allison gets an odd thrill every time an elephant charges his jeep or a peckish crocodile looks at him sideways. Our favourite safari leader is back with more incredible tales from his time guiding unsuspecting tourists through the African bush.
