Tsavo is a region in the Republic of Kenya, East African Protectorate, Earth.

Overview[edit]

Tsavo is located about 200 kilometers from Mombasa, and about 50 kilometers north of Voi, centering around a railway crossing over the Tsavo River, a tributary river which comes down from Mount Kilimanjaro. The Nairobi Road and a parallel railway runs through Tsavo, connecting the city of Nairobi with the megacity of New Mombasa.^[1]^[2] By the 26th century, a large artificial ocean inlet had been built south of Tsavo, turning Voi into a port town where cargo from the industrial facilities in the region is transported down to Mombasa and the coast.^[3]

Battle of Earth[edit]

When the New Mombasa Orbital Elevator collapsed during the Battle of Mombasa, debris from the elevator rained down many kilometers south of the Tsavo region. During the Battle of Kenya, John-117 and a band of UNSC Marines assaulted the Covenant-occupied Tsavo Highway as they made their way to Voi. Spartan-117 found it to be grievously damaged, with several parts on the verge of collapse. The reservoir had been drained and excavated to reveal the Portal to the Ark.^[4]

Trivia[edit]

Tsavo is mostly known as the site of the Tsavo Man-Eaters, a pair of male lions that stalked and eaten about 140 construction workers during the construction of the Uganda Railway over the Tsavo River in 1898.
