Which railway were the Tsavo Man-Eaters' victims building in 1898? The Uganda Railway.

The two notorious Tsavo lions attacked workers constructing the Uganda Railway through British East Africa in 1898. The project was intended to link the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa with the interior, eventually reaching Lake Victoria at what is now Kisumu, Kenya.

The attacks began near the Tsavo River while crews were building a railway bridge. Many workers were Indian laborers, alongside African workers and other personnel. The lions dragged people from tents at night, causing fear, work stoppages and the temporary flight of hundreds of laborers.

Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson, who supervised the bridge work, eventually killed both lions in December 1898. Later accounts famously claimed 135 victims, but that figure is disputed; Patterson’s original account documented fewer deaths. The railway was also nicknamed the “Lunatic Express” by critics who opposed its cost and purpose.
