Lift, a new low-cost airline in South Africa, has made history by hosting the first-ever in-flight book launch on one of its flights. The event, which took place on February 10, featured the launch of the book “The Last Hurrah” by Graham Boynton, a renowned journalist and author.
The Last Hurrah: A Tribute to Safari Legends

The book features stories and interviews with some of the most influential and charismatic figures in the safari industry, such as Dereck and Beverly Joubert, Colin Bell, Garth Thompson, and Ian Michler.
The book also explores the challenges and threats facing the safari sector, such as poaching, habitat loss, climate change, and COVID-19, and calls for urgent action and support to save Africa’s natural heritage. The book is a must-read for anyone who loves Africa and its wildlife, and who wants to learn more about the people who have shaped its history and future.
