Kgaga, The First Motswana To Own Safari Company

Kgaga was born in Shorobe village in 1948, a small village about 30 kilometres north of Maun. This is the village that produced icons such as veteran politician Gilson Saleshando and folklore legend Stiga Sola. At school, the youthful Kgaga only went as far as standard two, quitting in 1972 and travelling to Maun to look for employment in the emerging tourism sector.  He worked for various companies as a waiter, chef and mechanical engineer. In 1985, Kgaga was offered shares at Audi Safaris, which traded as Kubu camp where he had risen through the ranks to become a managing director. In 1992 he sold his shares at Audi to fund a new company he had formed; Bush Camp Safaris. By owning Bush Camp, Kgaga became the first Motswana to own a Safari company.

“I was the first Motswana to own a Safari company. The second person to follow me was one Oscar Pusoetsile.”
