On the north side of the road just before the turn-off to Voi Gate on the eastern outskirts of town, this well-tended cemetery contains 137 graves, including those of 70 South African, 44 British, 12 ‘Rhodesian’, nine East African and two Indian graves. The area around Tsavo, particularly the railway, was a major theatre of war between Britain and Germany during WWI. The gate is usually padlocked shut, but ask around the nearest shops and soon enough they’ll track down the custodian of the key.
