Our Journey Since 2008

A Vision Built ThroughDetermination.

Bushman Motors was founded in 2008 by Joseph Batista Kavindi, with a simple vision: to build a trusted name in the motor industry through hard work, determination, and commitment.

Our journey began with buying and selling vehicles as independent middlemen, connecting car buyers with sellers and helping clients find the right vehicles at the right prices.

In the early days, we built our business through dedication and sacrifice. We also saved money earned from driver packages and transport arrangements, particularly from drivers transporting vehicles across borders into Zambia, Botswana, and Tanzania.

These cross-border journeys gave us valuable experience in the motor trade, international vehicle markets, logistics, and customer relationships.

What started as a small hustle gradually developed into a bigger business vision.

Today, Bushman Motors continues to grow with a focus on vehicle sales, sourcing, imports and exports, and connecting customers across Southern and East Africa.

"From humble beginnings in 2008 to a growing African motor business, our journey continues."
