Description
Book Synopsis: Shambolic – A Safari Life, is a collection of African tales from the ragged edge of the safari world. Sharing a small tent with a curious leopard, administering first aid to a crocodile love bite and sinking a valuable houseboat are all in a day’s work for the author. The 1990s was a golden decade for the motley crew guiding at and managing the small safari camps dotted around Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Minimum managerial oversight and maximum improvisation in an analogue world. Mostly out of sight, sometimes out of their minds and always unwilling to read the instruction manual. A confederacy of campfire raconteurs, championing the wilderness that inspired them. It was frequently shambolic, occasionally glorious and almost no one died.
Ben Forbes has spent twenty-five years working in wildlife travel, mostly in Africa. He has enjoyed near misses with almost everything in the animal kingdom that walks, crawls, or slithers.
