Famous Explorers of Africa
|
|
|
|
Mungo Park was a Scottish explorer who led one of the first
|
|
expeditions to investigate the course of the Niger river in Western Africa.
|
|
Mungo Park was a 23 year-old scottish surgeon surgeon who had just returned
|
|
from a journey to Sumatra on a ship of the East India Company. There he had
|
|
discovered 6 species of fish, he had published descriptions in a Scientific
|
|
Journal. In 1795, Park had gone to Piscina, on an offer to research further
|
|
into Africa. Park had accepted and a severe fever overcame him during his
|
|
journey. Park also had been captured by certain muslim leaders. After he
|
|
had got out of the Prison he had wandered around and had finally found the
|
|
Niger River. Park was amazed at how beautiful the River was. Park had
|
|
stated "I saw with infinite pleasure, the object of my, mission". Park had
|
|
returned home to London where became famous on his publications of his
|
|
voyage across Africa.
|
|
|
|
Later in 1806 he sailed downstream to the Bussa rapids, where he
|
|
drowned, trying to escape an attack by the Africans.
|
|
|
|
Rene Callie was a 27 year old man who was fascinated by the stories
|
|
told about peoples travels to Africa. His readings of Mungo park also
|
|
stimulated his fascination. Callie had entered a contest for the first
|
|
person to reach Timbuktu and reach back. He had reached Timbuktu. During
|
|
Callie's trip he did not find it easy to prove to the French Authorities
|
|
that a young man with no experience could discover Timbuktu. On his way
|
|
back Callie had joined a Arab Caravan preparing to cross from Western
|
|
Sahara to Morocco. Callie had stated "I am the first European to cross from
|
|
the sandy ocean from the south to the north". On his return to Paris,
|
|
Callie was known as a hero. Later, questions were asked if he was telling
|
|
the truth or not.
|
|
|
|
Johann Rebmann
|
|
|
|
Johann Rebmann was a German missionary, who was not like Mungo Park or
|
|
Rene Callie. The purpose of Rebmann's explorations is to find a place where
|
|
he might serve God. His most helpful weapon was a umbrella, which he used
|
|
to fight off lions and would be attackers. Rebmann was the european
|
|
explorer who kept a careful record of his journey. Together with his
|
|
partner he paved the way for later explorers. Rebmann had found the Mount
|
|
Kilimanjaro which was located in Tanzania. His missionary work was more
|
|
difficult than his exploration efforts.
|
|
|
|
David Livingstone
|
|
|
|
David Livingstone was a scotsman who also was intrigued by the
|
|
mysteries of vast unexplored areas of South Africa. He as Johann Rebmann
|
|
was also a missionary. ivingstone started working at a mission in sotho and
|
|
had also left because of dissagreements with the boers. In 1849 Livingstone
|
|
had gone with 2 game hunters to be an interpreter for an expedition
|
|
northward. They had gone north to Lake Ngami in Botswana but they could not
|
|
go further because of Livingstone's families' sickness at the time. After
|
|
about a year Livingstone resumed his explorations.
|
|
|
|
Livingstone had heard tales of the rushing waters of the Zambezi
|
|
River. He wanted to know the source of this River. Livingstone had to
|
|
return to England for his families safety and when he returned his mission
|
|
was destroyed by boers. Livingstone was ill and tired but he kept on his
|
|
journey. In 1855 Livingstone had gone about two thousand miles when he
|
|
reached the Victoria Falls. Livingstone had returned to Engaland in 1856.
|
|
In 1862 Livingstone had returned to Central Africa with a backing of the
|
|
British Government. He was on his journey and he become sick and was in a
|
|
African hut for 6 months. Livingstone had been in Central Africa for 8
|
|
years and the outside world had little information of his health and his
|
|
whereabouts.
|
|
|
|
In 1871 Henry Stanley a 28 year-old foriegn correspondent had heard
|
|
rumors that a white man was living at the Vilage of Ujiji near lake
|
|
Tanganika. On November 10,1871 Stanley entered the village and there he
|
|
found the sick Livingstone. Stanley had brought the correct medical
|
|
supplies to let Livingstone recover. In 1872 both Stanley and Livingstone
|
|
had gone to explore lakes and rivers of Central Africa. Livingstone had
|
|
died and was remembered as a hero for his explorations in Central Africa.
|
|
|
|
Stanley had then left Livingstone to research further. Speke finds
|
|
Lake Victoria and names it after the Queen of England.
|
|
|
|
Richard Burton
|
|
|
|
Richard Burton was one of the most famous explorers in Africa .
|
|
Burton's Life story is filled with adventure. In 1853 Burton was
|
|
disguiseeed as a Moslem he made dangerous pilgrammages to Mecca. In 1854 he
|
|
went to Harar in Ethiopia where capture meant death. Burton and his
|
|
companion John Speke were the first Europeans to visit Somalialand. In
|
|
1856, again with John Speke, Burton returned to East Africa to look for the
|
|
source of the Nile River. The trip was dangerous from Zanzibar. In 1858
|
|
they came upon Lake Tanganika but it wasn't the source of the NIle either.
|
|
Burton returned home. But Speake had gone with James Grant to find the
|
|
source of the Nile. Six months later they saw a lake as large as a sea.
|
|
Then they were convinced that Victoria Lake was the source of the Nile
|
|
River.
|
|
|
|
John Speke had recieved most of the glory for his works on the
|
|
exploration the source of the Nile. In 1860 James Speke and James Grant had
|
|
gone for further research of the Nile. On this Expedition Speke reported of
|
|
how the kingdoms along the Nile. Speke had said "I saw that old father Nile
|
|
without any doubt rises in the Victoria Lake , and as I foretold, that the
|
|
Nile is the great source of the holy river which cradled the first
|
|
exfounder [moses] of our religious belief".
