25. Exploring Africa - Island 5 Burton (18211890), the translator of the unexpurgated Arabian Nights and discovererof Lake Tanganyika; John Hanning Speke (1827-1864), originally Burton's http://www.sc.edu/library/spcoll/sccoll/africa/africa5.html

Exploring Africa Island 5: Central and East Africa, and the Legacy of Exploration David Livingstone, 1813-1873 Missionary travels and researches in South Africa; including a sketch of sixteen years' residence in the interior of Africa, and a journey from the Cape of Good Hope to Loanda, on the west coast; thence across the continent, down the river Zambesi, to the eastern ocean. . . . With portrait; maps by Arrowsmith; and numerous illustrations London: John Murray, 1857. Heraldic bookplate of William Edwards. The most famous of the Victorian African explorers, David Livingstone, a shopkeeper's son from Blantyre, Scotland, had qualified in medicine from Glasgow University and sailed for southern Africa with the London Missionary Society in 1840. Over the next years, he steadily pushed his base northward into central Africa, until in 1851 he reached the Zambesi. Sending his wife and family home, he set out on an extraordinary series of travels through what was still Arab slave-trading territory, until he eventually marched his porters down the Zambesi valley towards the east coast, and in 1855 discovered the Falls of Shongwe, illustrated here; these he admiringly described as seeming to "exceed in size the falls of the Clyde at Stonebyres," and renamed in honor of the British queen. Sir Samuel White Baker, 1821-1893

At the Zoo: The Snorting Gazelle by Debra Solomon John Hanning Speke (1827-1864) was a British explorer most famousand infamousfor his lifelong quest to find the source of the Nile. In 1858, Speke declared East Africa's Lake Victoria the Nile's source and returned to England a heroonly to find that his colleague and fellow explorer Sir Richard Burton challenged his claim. On the day Speke and Burton were to debate the issue in public, however, Speke died while hunting, apparently killed by his own gun. In spite of the cloud surrounding Speke's claim, his discovery was quickly confirmed after his death. But finding the source of the Nile wasn't the only legacy Speke left. He also left his mark on the names of several East African animals he was first to describe to the West, including Speke's weaver, a small bird, and Speke's gundi, a rodent.

Kenya today The Mountains of the Moon (1844-1889) The beginning of the colonial era in East Africa is not clear cut. The region started to fall under British influence since the first alliances of the Muscat sultanate with England, reinforced afterwards by Seyyid Said and prolonged during the Zanzibar sultanate. Apart from that ephemeral first British protectorate from 1824 to 1826, the European powers cultured their commercial relationships with the sultan. Both England and France attempted to dominate the trading routes with Asia. Since the Suez channel project was envisioned and forecasted to be the major highway for this trade, locating the Nile source meant controlling the river, and hence, the channel, reason why Uganda became a paramount objective. The channel would be opened in 1869 under French control, but in 1881 England would acquire most of the shares from an Egyptian citizen. These economic and political interests found their counterpart in others, less tangible. For some, the exploration of Africa also posed personal challenges, being of epic or religious nature. Pioneers over all pioneers, the first Europeans to penetrate the unexplored inner lands of East Africa were two German missionaries serving the

Kenya hoy Las Montañas de la Luna (1844-1889) La frontera del comienzo de la época colonial en Africa Oriental es difusa. La región comenzó a entrar en la órbita británica ya desde las primeras alianzas del sultanato de Muscat con Inglaterra, confirmadas después por Seyyid Said y continuadas durante el sultanato de Zanzíbar. Además de aquel efímero pimer protectorado británico entre 1824 y 1826, las potencias europeas cultivaban sus relaciones comerciales con el sultán. Tanto Inglaterra como Francia pretendían dominar las rutas comerciales con Asia. Desde que comenzó a gestarse el proyecto del canal de Suez, que se pronosticaba como la futura ruta principal para este comercio, la localización de las fuentes del Nilo significaba el control del río y, por tanto, del canal, por lo que Uganda fue un objetivo a conseguir. El canal se abriría en 1869 bajo control francés pero en 1881 Inglaterra compraría la mayor parte de las acciones a un ciudadano egipcio. Estos intereses de naturaleza política y económica encontraban su contrapartida en otros menos tangibles. Para algunos, la exploración de Africa también tenía motivos personales, ya fueran de inspiración épica o religiosa. Pioneros sobre todos los pioneros, los primeros europeos en internarse más allá de la franja litoral fueron dos misioneros alemanes al servicio de la
