GENERAL

  • Hunting of certain species subject to the availability of permits and licenses as regulated by the South African Department of Nature Conservation.
     
  • It is important to note that certain species are listed under CITES (Convention in the Trade of Endangered Species and Wildlife). This means that for certain animals you will have to apply to your own authorities and at your own cost for the import permit into your country of domicile, prior to your Safari. Due to the ever-changing status of Africa's wildlife, is it advisable that one should check regularly to ensure that you are aware of these changes.
     
  • Whilst all reasonable precautions are taken to safeguard our guests and their property, no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any incident as a result of an accident, injury, damage, illness, loss to person or property or negligence etc. before, during or after your Safari will be accepted by Patrick de Beer or Mugaba Safaris, the Outfitter, the Professional hunters or any of its staff members. We therefore strongly advise that you make the necessary arrangements to ensure that you and your group are the beneficiaries of a travel insurance policy covering at least injury, death, medical costs, emergency evacuation, repatriation, loss of or damage to personal belongings (due to theft or otherwise) and cancellation for the duration of your stay in South Africa. 

    Please note that the booking and all services carried out in terms of the booking will be subject to South African law and the jurisdiction of South African courts.
