What Did You Do With That Bug Repellent?

By Kevin Warner

Everyone loves to travel. So why is so much travel writing such a snore? In What Did You Do With That Bug Repellent? you won't find anything about hotel linen thread-counts, or where to go for the best pan-fried prawns. What you do get is an account of an African Safari that is by turns laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly poignant. In a two-week tour of Tanzania, Mr. Warner and his traveling companions encounter: a blitzkrieg of insects, giants birds with aggression issues, confidence men tour guides, indifferent locals, death-tempting car journeys, monotony, lethargy, illness, and a really really poor selection of souvenirs. Somehow, along the way they still manage to experience the wonder and awe of seeing lions, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, zebras and dozens more magnificent animals in their natural habitat. You will learn a lot about the marvels of East Africa in What Did You Do With That Bug Repellent? You just won't realize how much you're learning because you'll be too busy enjoying yourself.
