Description

A humorous romp through the African wilds . . .

Tired of mortgage and car payments, thirty-something Andrew and Gwynn, and their Siamese cat Woodie, did the proverbial vanishing act, ending up on a desert island in one of the most idyllic spots on Earth: the Okavango Delta in Botswana, southern Africa.

Woefully inexperienced, these two hapless escapees took control of a luxury lodge, where the rich and pampered went to spot big game while sipping G&Ts.

Trouble soon followed.

Amongst others, their guests included a famous Hollywood director, a group of French aristocrats, a Mafia lawyer, and a world-class cricketer. Their stays were punctuated by visits from bad-tempered elephants, malicious baboons, and a hyena
with a plastic fetish.

Only names have been changed to protect Andrew and Gwynn from inevitable lawsuits.
