No. 572 in the World’s Classics series. The travellers who explored East Africa – missionaries, officials, traders and hunters – created a remarkable literature about the country and its peoples. The story of East African exploration is dominated by the search for the source of the Nile and the discovery of the Great Lakes, while Stanley’s search for Livingstone and their meeting is one of the most famous episodes in exploration history This selection includes extracts from the writings of Livingstone and Stanley, Burton, Speke, Grant, Charles New, and others.
