Liability

Whilst every effort is made by African Brothers Safari and the professional hunter/s or guide to ensure the safety of the client, no responsibility can be accepted for any illness, accident, injury or loss whatsoever suffered by the client whilst on safari with African Brothers Safari, or any expenses arising from such illness, accident, injury or loss.  Clients are responsible for their own individual health, travel, trip interruption and cancellation insurance’s and should contact their insurance broker or travel agent for quotations on available packages.  Furthermore, African Brothers Safari or the Professional Hunter will not accept any responsibility for trophies after its proper field preparation or personal goods left behind in camps, aircraft or vehicles.  The client certifies that he/she is in good health and has no physical limitations, which would prevent his/her safe participation in the safari or associated activities.  The client furthermore certifies that he/she has full knowledge of the nature and extent of the risk inherent in the participation in hunting safari activities and the rugged and harsh areas in which such activities often take place and that he/she is voluntarily assuming such risks. It is agreed by both African Brothers Safari/Professional Hunter/Guide and the client that this agreement shall be governed, interpreted and enforced pursuant to the Laws of the Country, State, Province and locality in which the safari takes place. If any person refuses to abide by the rules and regulations laid down by African Brothers Safari, the safari may be cancelled at any time.
