History: This part of the park had a timber concession in the Serondela area. During this time the ivory trade was rife. The idea of protecting the area and proclaiming it a reserve was born during the 1930s when Colonel Charles Rey was the commissioner in Botswana. His dream was only realized in the late 1960s when the Chobe Game Reserve came into existence. In April 1962, all residents and the timber workers were asked to leave. Most people left and now residing outside the park in Kasane. The remains of residential site are still in the area and forms an interesting part of history of Chobe.
