Boathouse to Botswana: Life in the catering underworld; Lifting the lid on the luxury safari, and restaurant industries.

A chance conversation at a friend's wedding takes a very English restaurant manager from Oxford to the remotest deserts of Namibia's Skeleton Coast and the tropical swamplands of Botswana's Okavango Delta.
