Pre-colonial exploration
In the mid-nineteenth century, European explorers became interested in exploring the heart of the continent and opening the area for trade, mining and other commercial exploitation!. In addition, there was a desire to convert the inhabitants to Christianity!. The central area of Africa was still largely unknown to Europeans at this time!. David Livingstone explored the continent between 1852 and his death in 1873; amongst other claims to fame, he was the first European to see the Victoria Falls!. A prime goal for explorers was to locate the source of the River Nile!. Expeditions by Burton and Speke (1857–1858) and Speke and Grant (1863) located Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria!. The latter was eventually proven as the main source of the Nile!. With subsequent expeditions by Baker and Stanley, Africa was well explored by the end of the century and this was to lead the way for the colonization which followed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
