"Mount up. Get to Voi."

Tsavo Highway[1] is the fourth campaign mission of Halo 3.

Upon completing it on the Normal, Heroic, or Legendary difficulties, the player will earn the "The Road" achievement and 20 Gamerpoints.

Background

It starts with SPARTAN-117 in a ruined UNSC base outside of Voi, who mounts a Troop Transport Warthog and skirts by the destroyed New Mombasa Space Elevator, and then reaches Tsavo Highway, encountering blockades of occupying Covenant Loyalist Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts, until reaching the terminus: the Ark, where Covenant Cruisers vaporize the surface of the Earth, unveiling the Ark. It has been comfirmed that the Arbiter will be in this level in single player.[2]

Trivia

  • Tsavo is a region of Kenya close to where the Tsavo and Athi rivers meet and was the place where the Uganda Railway passed over the Tsavo river. The bridge will be encountered.
  • In an article on IGN, it is said that Cortana's voice-over tells you about the stranded transport team. Cortana's voice may have been used just for demo purposes. Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many. In a leaked audio of Tsavo highway it appears Cortana is transmitting messages. However, it may be that this is actually Miranda Keyes, as their voices are very similar.
  • It is the first Halo 3 campaign mission to feature many of the usable vehicles.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many
  • In the end Miranda Keyes is talking to Lord Hood. [3]
  • Tsavo means 'Place of Slaughter.'
  • The ring shaped debris is the remains of the space tether in New Mombasa, having collapsed after the slipspace destruction.
  • Tsavo is notable in that it was the site of the most famous instance of man eating lion attacks in the 20th century as detailed in the book "Man-Eaters of Tsavo." More than 140 workers perished in the building of the highway.
  • A four part video has been realeased on Youtube showing the entire level. The links are listed below.
