North America The Pacific Ocean and Australia Africa Stanley and Livingstone Other explorers of Africa ... The Arctic and Antarctic Africa By the late 1700's, Europeans were familiar with the coasts of Africa, but the interior of the continent remained a mystery to them. Penetration of the interior was difficult because of the harsh terrain in many places and the presence of deadly diseases, such as malaria and dysentery. Despite these obstacles, Europeans explored most of Africa south of the Sahara during the late 1700's and the 1800's. During the late 1800's, exploration was combined with conquest, and Europeans became the rulers of most of the African continent. During the late 1700's and early 1800's, European explorers tried to solve a mystery that had puzzled geographers for centuries. Ancient writers had mentioned an important African river called the Niger. But they had not known where the river began, in what direction it flowed, and where it ended. In 1796, Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer, reached the Niger near Segou, in what is now Mali. He determined that it flows from west to east. In 1830, Richard Lemon Lander, a British explorer, sailed down the Niger to its mouth in the Gulf of Guinea. During the 1820's, Alexander Gordon Laing, a Scottish explorer, and Rene Caillie (ruh NAY cah YAY), a Frenchman, separately visited the city of Timbuktu, near the Niger in Mali.

Lake Victoria (c.255 mi/410 km long and c.155 mi/250 km wide) occupies a shallow depression (c.250 ft/75 m deep) on the Equatorial Plateau (alt. 3,725 ft/1,135 m) between two arms of the Great Rift Valley. It has an irregular shoreline and many small islands. Numerous streams, including the Kagera River, feed Lake Victoria, which is one of the chief headwater reservoirs of the Nile; the Victoria Nile drains the lake to the north. At Owen Falls Dam on the Victoria Nile the lake's waters are used to generate hydroelectricity. The lake basin is densely populated and intensely cultivated, and the lake is an important fishery. Ships regularly call at lakeside towns, including Entebbe, Mwanza, Bukoba, and Kisumu. The first European to see Lake Victoria (originally called Ukerewe) was John Speke , the British explorer, in 1858; Henry

84. The Nile Controversy of the Nile River Burton, or his partner john hanning speke? His command of Africanand Arab languages was speke was forever offending guides, traders, and http://vvv.com/~rowena/nilecon.html

The Nile Controversy Who really discovered the source of the Nile River Burton, or his partner John Hanning Speke? The purists say that Speke made the final trip to Lake Tanganyika, and thus deserves the credit. Indeed, Speke and several reluctant guides left the town of Kazeh on July 10th, 1858 to look for the bahr ("sea" or "lake") described to Burton by Arab traders. On August 3rd Speke's group climbed a hill and, reaching the summit, looked out upon "a magnificent sheet of water", which Speke promptly named Lake Victoria. Speke and his companions did not map the extent of the lake or examine the basin further; instead, he accepted without doubt that he had found the source of the great Nile River and turned back to Kazeh. (Speke mounted a second expedition to East Africa in 1860 with Captain James Grant to confirm that the great lake he had gazed upon in 1858 was indeed the source of the Nile. Unfortunately, Speke performed the final reconnaissance of the lake alone and, once again, he did not linger to gather any scientific data about the basin. Explorers who mapped and studied the area in later years did, finally, confirm that Speke's Lake Victoria was the source of the Nile.) Now, look beyond the fact that Speke walked up a hill and saw a large lake. How did he manage to safely travel to Kazeh? Once there, how did he find out about the lake? Who drew the maps he followed, hired his guides, and provisioned his caravan? The point is, of course, that Speke never would have survived the hostile east coast of Africa or managed to locate the lake without the assistance of his travelling companion and the expedition's undoubted leader, Captain Richard Francis Burton.

At the same time the Bombay government was organizing an expedition to Somaliland under Lieutenant Richard Burton. Speke had originally planned to travel into Africa alonea very unwise proposaland James Outram, the political resident at Aden, at first forbid him. Outram then suggested that Speke join Burton's expedition, which he did.

In 1860, Speke, together with James Grant, mapped part of Lake Victoria. In 1862, found Ripon Falls, a Nile exit from the lake.

USS Reagan commissioned Discovering the Nile's source and odd pairs INTO AFRICA: THE EPIC ADVENTURES OF STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE By Martin Dugard Doubleday, $29.95, 289 pages, illus. REVIEWED BY HANS NICHOLS It is the story of the Nile, a universal story of discovery, a story that's been told many times over many years. Martin Dugard's version, "Into Africa," still manages to captivate. Today's explorers no longer seek to make a big world smaller. Instead, they make the infinitesimally small world of DNA and enzymes, infinitesimally larger. In the process our explorers seem to have lost much of their audience and many of their admirers. Instead of looking out, today we look within and while it's no less interesting, it's certainly less tangible. Mapping DNA is one thing; mapping the Nile is another. That's why it's such a joy to read Mr. Dugard's work: It recalls an age when our collective obsession was not with the vagaries of our own sexual mores, but with the discovery of wild, naked tribes in the heart of Africa. Speke was, of course, correct, though his claim wouldn't be proven until 1875.

98. The Life Story Of Sir. Burton with the urge to travel and explore further, Burton In the company of john HanningSpeke, another Englishman seeking african adventures, Burton http://www.empereur.com/burton.html

The Life Story of Sir. Burton Burton, Sir Richard Francis (1821-1890), British explorer, linguist, and student of Asian cultures, one of the most famous mid-19th century European explorers of Africa. He is also known for his definitive translation of stories known under the title Arabian Nights and for his valuable travel literature on western Asia, Africa, and South America. Burton was born in Torquay, England, to an English army officer and his wealthy wife, the latter rumored to be descended from the French Bourbon kings. He was reared in France, England, and Italy and educated haphazardly along the way by tutors until he entered Trinity College, University of Oxford, in 1840. A headstrong young man, Burton preferred to study subjects that interested him-such as Arabic, philosophy, and mysticism-rather than the subjects in the standard curriculum. He was expelled from Oxford in 1842. II.TRAVELS IN ASIA AND ARABIA Deeply interested in Asian life and languages, Burton joined the army of the English East India Company in 1842 and served in Sind (what is now southern Pakistan) for seven years. During this time he traveled in Pakistan and western India, mixed with local people (sometimes passing as Asian in bazaars), and became increasingly familiar with local customs and proficient in several local languages as well as Persian and Arabic. These experiences set the stage for Burton’s pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca in 1853, which he made in the disguise of an Afghan physician. Burton became one of the first non-Muslims to enter Mecca. He sketched the central shrine, the Kaaba, and participated in all the rituals associated with the pilgrimage without being detected. These travels-which Burton described vividly in Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to El-Medinah and Meccah (1855)-brought him fame throughout Europe.
