Exploring Africa tells of the many people who helped to map this mighty continent. It follows their expeditions across the Sahara and Kalahari deserts, along the valleys of the Congo, Niger, Nile, and Zambezi rivers, through rainforests, over mountains and on vast lakes. You will read about why the explorers set out, how they traveled, hazards they encountered on the way, native people they worked with, and more. Clear maps and superb reconstructions bring these journeys vividly to life.
