During the
construction of
the Railway
Bridge over the
Tsavo River in
1898 by the
British for what
was then known
as the Uganda
Railway,
approximately
140 workers were
killed by two
mane-less male
lions, over a
period of 3
months.
After repeated
unsuccessful
endeavors, the
first lion was
finally killed
on 9th December
1898 during a
night hunt, and
the second three
weeks later
during a morning
hunt which
almost cost
Paterson his
life.
The original
site where these
events took
place is where
today’s Man
Easters Camp Is
located; the
site’s history
goes all the way
back to colonial
days of old,
during the
construction of
the Tsavo
Bridge.
The chief
engineer of the
bridge was John
Paterson, who
became a local
hero for killing
the infamous Man
Eaters of Tsavo,
news of the
event even
reached the
House of Lords
and Parliament
during the
tenure of Prime
Minister, Lord
Salisbury. ith
prayers of
thanks.
