===Early history===
{{Quote|You should see the mountain that watches over it. A beautiful thing - a snowcapped sentinel. That's where I will spend what time is left to me.|The Librarian to the [[IsoDidact]] near the end of the Forerunner-Flood war.{{Ref/Reuse|h3terminal}}}}
In the waning days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the [[Librarian]] oversaw the construction of the [[Portal at Voi]] and spent her last moments at Mount Kilimanjaro.<ref name="h3terminal">''Halo 3'', [[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminal 6]]</ref>

In [[2007]], the [[Society of the Ancients]] identified a [[Tanzanian petroglyph|petroglyph]] of the [[Forerunner]] Chrysopteron etched into a Tanzanian mountainside.<ref>[http://206.16.223.63/evidence.html Society of the Ancients evidence page]: ''This was just sent to me from a SOTA member traveling through Tanzania. The rock painting (as of yet undated) was pointed out last month by a local safari guide.''</ref>

===East African Protectorate===
By at least the 25th Century, Tanzania had become part of the [[East African Protectorate]]. Late in the 2400s, the EAP unsuccessfully attempted to re-nationalize a number of privatized industries that had previously been under state control.{{Ref/Reuse|zanzibar}} The [[United Nations Space Command]] established many bases in Tanzania throughout its history, especially capitalizing on the defensive capabilities of Mount Kilimanjaro, which had multiple bases built into its slopes.<ref name="ENC297">''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', p. 297 (2011 edition)</ref>

{{Quote|Chief, Pelicans are at the river. We've got company, so hustle up!|Avery Johnson.}}
On November 17, [[2552]], late into the [[Battle for Earth]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] arrived aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. The [[Spartan-II]] [[John-117]], after failing to kill the [[hierarch]], bailed from the ship as it entered the Earth's atmosphere, and landed in a jungle south of Mount Kilimanjaro. He was recovered hours later by a contingent of [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]].<ref>''Halo 3'', campaign level, [[Arrival]]</ref> Before long, the group, aided by a few [[D77H-TCI Pelican]]s, engaged [[Covenant]] forces which been deployed to the jungle. [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] and survivors of the [[Second Squad]] were captured and taken to the Covenant-occupied [[A2 Hydroelectric Facility]].{{Ref/Reuse|s117}} John-117 and The Arbiter made their way to the dam and worked to rescue the captives. After this, two {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}}s appeared and dropped off reinforcements. The UNSC forces held off the attack until the pelican [[Kilo 023]] arrived, destroying the Phantoms and extracting the humans and lone [[Sangheili]] to [[Crow's Nest (location)|Crow's Nest]] in [[Kenya]].<ref name="s117">''Halo 3'', campaign level, [[Sierra 117]]</ref> During the fight against the Covenant, the city of Arusha became a hotbed of Covenant activity.<ref name="Tsavo">''Halo 3'', campaign level, [[Tsavo Highway]]</ref>

Following the end of the war, the member states of the EAP, including Tanzania, donated [[gold]] ore for a statue of [[John-117]] to be placed in the [[United Nations Space Command Memorial Park]] as part of [[Project Rebirth]], a plan for the rebuilding and revitalization of [[New Mombasa]].<ref>''[[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes]]'', Campaign Master Chief</ref>

==Geography==

==Government==
[[File:A2Dam 2.jpg|thumb|200px|The A2 Hydroelectric Plant during the Battle for Earth.]]
Tanzania was controlled by the [[UNSC]].{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}
===Power and water===
Snowmelt from Mount Kilimanjaro was once collected and used to distribute water across the entire African continent by the [[Global Water Campaign]] via [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines|GWC trans-African pipelines]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287 ''Bungie.net'': Ghost Town Revealed]</ref> The GWC's [[Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant|main water treatment plant]] had fallen into disrepair by the 26th Century, but the government initiative continued to function at other locations, such as the [[A2 Hydroelectric Facility]], which uses a flowing river to generate electricity. The aforementioned decommissioned plant was acquired by the UNSC in the early 26th Century and was used to conduct classified military training exercises for ingress/egress operations and as a template for War Game simulations, specifically WAR GAMES MAP_SET/: 673-15.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/earth ''Halo Waypoint'': Earth]</ref> The Zanzibar Archipelago is home to [[Wind Power Station 7]].{{Ref/Reuse|zanzibar}}

==Trivia==
*Wind Power Station 7 is the setting for the War Games Map_Set/: 680-4, a simulated environment used in the UNSC's [[War Games]].{{Ref/Note|Id=Spartans|The map description for ''Halo 3'''s [[Last Resort]] says that Wind Power Station 7 was requisitioned for use as part of Spartan training exercises. It is unknown whether this refers to the War Games or if Spartans trained at the actual location.}}
