Thamaga is a large village located in the Kweneng District of Botswana and about 40 km west of the capital city Gaborone.

The village is dominated by large rock formations, the largest being Thamaga Hill.

The majority of the residents are from the Bakgatla-ba-ga-Mmanaana Tribe, and their totem is the vervet monkey (kgabo).

The area was formerly inhabited by various groups or "Bakgalagadi" (earlier arrivals of Bantu-speaking farmers and herders) and hunter-gatherers ancestral to \he people today called San, Bushmen, and Basarwa.

The history of these peoples in the Thamaga area, based on radiocarbon dating, has been traced back at least 5000 years.
