Many outstanding men James Bruce, Richard Francis Burton, David
Livingstone, Henry Morton Stanley, and others won lasting fame from
their African journeys. Africa Explored collects their amazing
tales of treks into the unknown. These tales of Europeans in Africa
before the wave of colonialism mix exotic sights and startling
customs with sympathetic meetings of Africa's people and scenes of
sublime beauty. Africa Explored relates Mungo Park's being robbed
and left for dead in the West African desert, then saved by
repeated acts of kindness; Burton and Speke's search for the
legendary Mountains of the Moon that fed the Nile; Alexander
Laing's fatal voyage to Timbuktu; Livingston's journeys up the
Zambezi River; German missionary Johannes Rebmann's astonishment at
beholding the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro; and other incredible
encounters with strange animals, the slave trade, crippling
diseases, and desert nomads."
