Into Africa

Into Africa

When the explorer RenÃ© CailliÃ© returned to France from Africa in 1828, he published a sketch of the legendary city he had discovered - Timbuctoo. But neither that simple drawing nor his matter-of-fact description gave CailliÃ©'s countrymen a sufficiently colorful picture to match their preconceptions of how Africa should look. They turned their backs on the young explorer, ignored his accomplishments, and let him die neglected.

Here are the epic adventures of the European explorers who opened Africa â€“ from Mongo Park and Vasco da Gama to Francis Burton and David Livingstone and Henry Stanley.
