Another employee who was also rewarded with shares is Alfons Kaura, who joined the company in 2012 at the head office. Kaura worked his way up from a junior to an intermediate employee and then to a senior consultant. He is now the sales manager.

He has since held various roles at Galton House and other camps of Ultimate Safaris, such as //Huab Under Canvas and Camp Doros, situated in Damaraland. He is now the head chef at Camp Doros and the assistant camp captain.
