Our North Star
Experience • Awareness • Conservation
"There is one last reason for caring, and I believe that no other is necessary. It is certainly the reason so many people have devoted their lives to protecting the likes of rhinos, parakeets, kakapos and dolphins. And it is simply this: the world would be a poorer, darker, lonelier place without them."
Mark Carwadine, Last Chance to See, 1989.

What is the best time of year to go on a safari in Africa?The best time to embark on a safari adventure in Africa is during the dry season, which typically runs from June to October. During these months, the sparse vegetation and limited water sources make it easier to spot wildlife congregating around waterholes. This is especially true in popular safari destinations like Kenya, Tanzania, and Botswana. The weather is usually cooler and more pleasant, enhancing your overall safari experience. By choosing Last Chance Safaris, you’ll benefit from exclusive, private-guided journeys that allow you to witness Africa's untamed beauty in the most optimal conditions.
