Halo
In the Fall of 2552, the Covenant found Earth in search of a object. They landed only in one spot in the country of Kenya, in and around the city of Mombasa. The Prophet of Regret's forces tried to hold onto and capture the city from UNSC Forces, but failed. There his Flagship jumped into Slipspace. Between Mombasa and Voi is theorized to be the location of the Forerunner Ark.

Halo 3
After the Flood's invasion in Voi, the Elites glassed half of the continent. This stopped the Flood from spreading and consuming the entire planet.
