Located southwest of New Mombasa, Uplift Nature Reserve resides on what used to be part of the [[Mombasa]] island, but due to sea levels rising, has been separated from it. Due to this, the entirety of the reserve's natural habitats, including the rock formations, are artificial. | Located southwest of New Mombasa, Uplift Nature Reserve resides on what used to be part of the [[Mombasa]] island, but due to sea levels rising, has been separated from it.

The public entrance to the reserve lies north of the park, easily accessible by New Mombasa's [[New Mombasa Coastal Highway|waterfront highway]]. Upon arrival, visitors are shuttled to New Mombasa Uplift plaza, where the company's headquarters also lie. The plaza is located directly adjacent to the reserve's primary access road, and within [[New Mombasa Sector 9|Sector 9]] of the city. | The public entrance to the reserve lies north of the park, easily accessible by New Mombasa's [[New Mombasa Coastal Highway|waterfront highway]].

However, the UNSC victory was short-lived. The Covenant soon returned in much larger numbers, crushing any remaining resistance. Despite the intense fighting, it would seem that the Uplift Reserve itself managed to survive the battle, as overhead shots of the destroyed city show that the grounds are largely intact. However, it was likely destroyed when the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] New Mombasa in order to uncover the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal]] structure the city was built upon. | However, the UNSC victory was short-lived.
