This reserve was covering the area from Khwai Rivers to Mogogelo River. The Chief's Island was always the hunting ground of the Chief. During the 1970s the tribe's final decision to include chiefs island as part of the reserve. During 1991 the area became even bigger. by adding theNqoga and the Jao River borders to the reserve.
