Supreme Court rejects safari operator's defence after tourist fall
Cape Times
|January 30, 2026
THE signing of an indemnity form and a disclaimer does not exempt a tour operator from liability.
An Australian tourist claimed damages after she was injured when she had lost her balance and fell from a safari vehicle.The matter came under the judicial spotlight in the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) after the Gauteng High Court earlier ruled in favour of Anu Murti that Tourvest Holdings is liable for her damages.
The company subsequently turned to the SCA, relying on disclaimers in brochures sent to her life partner before the safari commenced.
Her partner, who had organised the safari for Murti as a birthday surprise, signed the indemnity form and disclaimer on behalf of both of them.
The SCA found that the tour operator cannot rely on an indemnity signed by the partner on behalf of Murti.
The incident happened in 2018 when Murti was travelling in a safari truck in Botswana, as part of a Southern African safari tour arranged by Tourvest Holdings, trading as Drifters Adventours.
