| 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>

| |
| 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>

| ===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}}

It is unknown whether this refers to the War Games or if Spartans trained at the actual location.}}
