Tsavo

Were you looking for Tsavo Highway, the Halo 3 Level?

Tsavo is a current-day region in Kenya, Africa, and a crossing for the Uganda railway over the Tsavo river.

Location
Tsavo is 168.66 Km from Mombasa, and about 26 Km north of Voi, Kenya. Tsavo is also a railway crossing for the Uganda railway over the Tsavo river.

Topography
The Tsavo river comes down from Mt Kilimanjaro, but after the snow melt water shortage, a man-made lake was built between Tsavoa and Voi, roughly 25000 Km in diameter, which linked onto the Tsavo river. Tsavo highway was also built above the river, to allow crossing over the river via car or truck. Tsavo highway follows the river, and splits off when it reaches the lake, heading to Mombasa. The railway also goes over the river and round the lake, towards Voi, then Mombasa. The river provides easy transport to and from Voi, and goes all the way to the coast.

Halo 3
During Halo 3, SPARTAN-117 travels through Tsavo via Tsavo Highway, heading south towards Voi. The Mombasa space elevator, which was destroyed during the 1st Battle of Earth, can be found littering the African savanha, and parts of it in Tsavo. The highway has been attacked and damaged, parts on the verge of collapse. The river, which was once connected to the lake, has dried because the Lake has been dug up, revealing the Portal. Tsavo was scattered with Covenant and UNSC forces during the evacuation of Crows Nest, but were rounded up by SPARTAN-117.
