Serowe

Serowe (population approximately 60,000[citation needed]) is an urban village in Botswana's Central District.

It is also the birthplace of Seretse Khama, Botswana's first president, and the traditional center of the Bamangwato tribe.

Notable features of the local area include a Botswana Defence Force (BDF) base on the road to Paje and the Khama Rhino Sanctuary.

The Rhino Sanctuary is a charitable game reserve, 25 km north of Serowe, established in 1992 by the local Ballentine and Watson families and Ian Khama (the former President).

[3] Since 2000, Serowe has undergone numerous developments and continues to expand at a steady rate, despite exponential growth from neighbouring Palapye.

The school's history department regularly takes students on field trips to ancient sites around the country.

The airport location was used to build the now completed Sekgoma Memorial Hospital and the adjacent Nursing Institute.

Her importance to the village is remembered in the Bessie Head Room of the Khama III Memorial Museum, established in 2007.
